The Muon Spectrometer of the ALICE experiment
Heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies are a unique tool for creating very hot and dense matter in a laboratory. In particular, lattice chromodynamics (lQCD) predicts a cross-over toward a new state of matter called Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) at T∼ 170 MeV for μB ∼ 0. (where T is the temperature and μB the baryonic chemical potential) [ 1]. Heavy ion collisions allow us to experimentally s...
متن کاملThe Iron Calorimeter and Muon Identifier for Sld*
The iron flux-return structure for the SLC Large Detector (SLD) has’ been instrumented with plastic streamer tubes covering an area of about 4500 square meters, to provide muon identification plus energy measurement of hadron showers. A description is given of the production techniques used to construct this large detector system, with an emphasis on the methods by which high reliability and a ...
متن کاملMuon Physics in ALICE: The MFT Upgrade Project
The ALICE experiment is dedicated to the study of the quark gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN LHC. The Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) is under consideration by the ALICE experiment to be part of its program of detectors upgrade to be installed during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) planned for 2018. Designed as a silicon pixel detector added in the Muon Spectrometer acceptance (−4.0 < ...
متن کاملFinal results of the tests on the resistive plate chambers for the ALICE muon arm
The trigger for the ALICE muon spectrometer will be issued by single-gap, low resistivity bakelite resistive plate chambers (RPCs). The trigger system consists of four 5:5 6:5 m2 RPC planes arranged in two stations, for a total of 72 detectors. One hundred and sixteen detectors have been assembled and tested in Torino. The tests have been performed with the streamer mixture developed for heavy ...
متن کاملThe ALICE muon trigger system: cosmic ray commissioning and first beam-induced events
The ALICE experiment is designed to study strongly interacting nuclear matter which will be produced in heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The muon spectrometer of the ALICE experiment is equipped with a trigger system based on resistive plate chambers. A commissioning phase was started in 2008 with the detection of cosmic rays and induced particles of the first beam injec...
