The ALICE dimuon trigger: overview and electronics prototypes
ALICE is the LHC experiment (2005) dedicated to the study of heavy ion collisions. Amongst the ALICE subdetectors, the muon spectrometer will investigate the dimuon production from heavy resonance (J/t,B) decays, which is believed to be a promising signature of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) formation. For maximum e$ciency of the spectrometer, a dedicated dimuon trigger is presently built. The de...
متن کاملAging tests and chemical analysis of Resistive Plate Chambers for the trigger of the ALICE dimuon arm
Resistive Plate Chambers operated in streamer mode have been chosen as trigger detectors for the forward dimuon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment. During tests performed at CERN PS, small size prototypes with low-resistivity bakelite electrodes and with a strongly quenched gas mixture have shown the required rate capability, tracking and timing properties. Present efforts are devoted to the ...
متن کاملThe ALICE High-Level Trigger
The ALICE experiment at the LHC is dedicated to the investigation of reactions between ultra relativistic heavy ions. With an expected event rate of about 200 Hz in Pb-Pb collisions the data rate of the TPC alone is approximately 15 Gbyte/s, in contrast with a maximum affordable rate to the permanent storage system of 1.25 Gbyte/s. Therefore, a high-level trigger is needed which allows for the ...
متن کاملThe Dipole Magnet Design for the ALICE DiMuon Arm Spectrometer
An essential part of the DiMuon Arm Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is a conventional Dipole Magnet (DM) of about 890 tons, which provides the bending power to measure the momenta of muons. The JINR engineering design of the DM, technical characteristics and description of the proposed manufacturing procedure are presented. The proposed coil fabrication technique is based on winding of fla...
