Heavy ion Physics with ALICE
ALICE will study the physics of the strongly interacting matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC where the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma is expected. The experimental setup, the capabilities of the detector, and a few selected heavy-ion topics will be presented and discussed. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts a transition from a stable state of matter formed by hadron...
متن کاملPhoton-Induced Physics with Heavy-Ion Beams in ALICE
Photon-induced interactions have traditionally been studied with lepton beams in fixed target experiments and at colliders. But two–photon and photon–hadron interactions can occur also when the lepton beams are replaced by high energy protons or heavy ions[1,2]. The electromagnetic interactions can be studied in ultra-peripheral collisions where the impact parameters are larger than the sum of ...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Physics with the Alice Experiment at Lhc
Besides its proton-proton (pp) physics program, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which is going to start operating in early 2008, will deliver lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √ sNN = 5.5 TeV, opening the door to unexplored regimes in heavy-ion particle physics from several points of view, such as the centre-of-mass energy, the energy density reached, the lifetime and th...
متن کاملHeavy-ion Physics with Cms
This article presents a brief overview of the CMS experiment capabilities to study the hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The CERN Large Hadron Collider will provide collisions of Pb nuclei at 5.5 TeV per nucleon. The CMS heavy ion group has developed a plethora of physics analyses addressing many important aspects of heavy-ion physics in preparation for a compet...
متن کاملHeavy-ion physics with the ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
After close to 20 years of preparation, the dedicated heavy-ion experiment A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) took first data at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator with proton collisions at the end of 2009 and with lead nuclei at the end of 2010. After a short introduction into the physics of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, this article recalls the main design choice...
