Calibration of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector
The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) belongs to the central barrel detectors of the ALICE experiment at the LHC at CERN. It is composed of 540 large area drift chambers, with a total of 1181952 readout pads (1728 or 2304 per chamber). To ensure the optimal performance of the detector, designed for electron/pion identification and charged particle tracking, including triggering for high-pt el...
متن کاملRadiation hardness of the PIBETA detector components
We have examined long term changes in signal amplitude gain, energy resolution and detection efficiency for the active components of the PIBETA detector system. Beam defining plastic scintillation counters were operated in a ∼ 1 MHz stopped π + beam for a period of 297 days, accumulating radiation doses of up to 2 · 10 6 rad. Detectors in the charged particle tracking system—a pair of cylindric...
متن کاملHigh Level Trigger Using ALICE ITS Detector
The high PT trigger capabilities of the ALICE inner tracking system (ITS) as a standalone detector have been investigated. Since the high PT charged particles mostly lead to the linear trajectories within this ITS sector, it is possible to select tracks of PT of the order of 2 GeV and above by confining to a narrow search window in the (θ, φ) space. Also shown that by performing a principal com...
متن کاملACORDE a Cosmic Ray Detector for ALICE
ACORDE is one of the ALICE detectors, presently under construction at CERN. It consists of an array of plastic scintillator counters placed on the three upper faces of the ALICE magnet. It will act as a cosmic ray trigger, and, together with other ALICE sub-detectors, will provide precise information on cosmic rays with primary energies around 10 ÷ 10 eV. Here we describe the design of ACORDE a...
متن کاملOperational experience with the ALICE Pixel Detector
The ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) constitutes the innermost detector of the ALICE experiment, which is the LHC experiment dedicated to the investigation of strongly interacting matter in heavy-ion collisions. The SPD consists of ∼10 million pixels organized in two layers at radii of 39 mm and 76 mm that cover a pseudorapidity range of |η |< 2 and |η |< 1.4, respectively. It provides the po...
