Detector Control System for the ALICE Time Projection Chamber
The Alice experiment is operated by a hierarchical structure of control layers. The various sub-detectors of the ALICE experiment are controlled by the Detector Control System (DCS). The topmost layer is the Experimental Control System (ECS) and controls the DCS, Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Trigger system (Figure 1). During normal operation the shift crew controls the detector at the ECS level. ...
متن کاملThe ALICE Pixel Detector Readout Chip Test System
The ALICE experiment will require some 1200 Readout Chips for the construction of the Silicon Pixel Detector [1] and it has been estimated that approximately 3000 units will require testing. This paper describes the system that was developed for this task.
متن کاملCalibration 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 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...
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...
