Transition Radiation Spectroscopy with Prototypes of the ALICE TRD
Measurements of TR yield and spectra for a large variety of regular radiator configurations have been presented by different authors. In general, data confirm the theoretical predictions [1], although total TR yield and dependence on the momentum of the emitting particle are not always reproduced [2][3]. The ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) consists of 540 drift chambers with mixed fib...
متن کاملElectron/Pion Identification with ALICE TRD Prototypes using a Neural Network Algorithm
We study the electron/pion identification performance of the ALICE Transition RaPreprint submitted to Elsevier Science 29 June 2005 diation Detector (TRD) prototypes using a neural network (NN) algorithm. Measurements were carried out for particle momenta from 2 to 6GeV/c. An improvement in pion rejection by about a factor of 3 is obtained with NN compared to standard likelihood methods.

A. Bercuci1,3, M. Fasel2, and M. Ivanov1 1GSI, Darmstadt, Germany; 2Technische Universitaet, Darmstadt, Germany; 3On leave from NIPNE, Bucharest, Romania The algorithm for tracking is the backbone of the reconstruction procedure of the TRD detector of the ALICE experiment at LHC at CERN. Its performance has immediate influence on other reconstruction tasks such as calibration, alignment and par...
متن کاملThe status of the ALICE TRD project
During the year 2008 the Transition Radiation Detector project of the ALICE experiment at LHC has accomplished important milestones and has progressed towards readiness for data taking. We will review the status of the project and the various ongoing activities. The chamber production was completed in 2008, so that now all 540 individual readout chambers (ROC) of TRD are ready. The chambers are...
متن کاملBeam tests with an ALICE TRD supermodule
The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) of the ALICE experiment at LHC is designed to provide electron/pion identification and tracking of all charged particles [1]. The TRD will supplement the TPC electron/pion identification by a pion rejection factor of the order of 100 at momenta above 1 GeV/c, allowing precision measurements of quarkonia. Sophisticated on-detector electronics [2] is design...
