Beam tests with an ALICE TRD supermodule
نویسنده
چکیده
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 designed to trigger on high-momentum electrons and on jets. The project is now in the production stage, with 2 supermodules installed in the ALICE setup and a few more being prepared for installation before the LHC startup in spring 2008.

Mass test of the ALICE TRD front end electronics at IKF
The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) [1] is one of the main detector components of the ALICE experiment. It consists of 18 supermodules mounted cylindrical around the beam axis of the LHC. Every supermodule is assembled out of 30 Readout Chambers (ROC) of different types. These ROCs are equipped with front end electronics (FEE) and tested at the Institut für Kernphysik Frankfurt (IKF) [2]. I...
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 کاملFirst beam test of the Frankfurt prototype for the CBM TRD
As one of the key components in the CBM experiment, the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) will play a significant role in the particle identification. A fast detector with double sided readout chambers[1] and a ALICE type of detector with both drift and amplification regions have been designed for the circumstance of high particle rates. We propose to build a fast detector with an amplificati...

متن کاملPrototype tests for the ALICE TRD
A Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) has been designed to improve the electron identification and trigger capability of the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We present results from tests of a prototype of the TRD concerning pion rejection for different methods of analysis over a momentum range from 0.7 to 2 GeV/c. We investigate the performance of different radiator...
