Electron/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.
متن کاملTransition 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 کاملPerformance of the ALICE TRD with first LHC collisions
In December 2009 a milestone of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) [1] was marked when the detector was turned on to record tracks of particles produced by first stable beams in collision at the Large Hadron Collider. We report here the performance of the detector during the ensuing data taking period of 2 weeks. Of the 18 TRD supermodules, 7 are currently installed in the ALICE setu...
متن کاملA Bidimensional Method for Particle Identification with the ALICE TRD
One of the main objectives of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) at LHC at CERN is to provide electron/pion identification for pt > 1GeV/c. The separation of electrons is based on ionization dE/dx and TR production and detection. We have improved the electron identification by better considering the contributions of ionization and TR production on the dE/dx measurements. The TRD detector d...
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...
