Operational experience with the ALICE Pixel Detector
The ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) constitutes the innermost detector of the ALICE experiment, which is the LHC experiment dedicated to the investigation of strongly interacting matter in heavy-ion collisions. The SPD consists of ∼10 million pixels organized in two layers at radii of 39 mm and 76 mm that cover a pseudorapidity range of |η |< 2 and |η |< 1.4, respectively. It provides the po...
متن کاملThe ALICE Pixel Detector Readout Chip Test System
The ALICE experiment will require some 1200 Readout Chips for the construction of the Silicon Pixel Detector [1] and it has been estimated that approximately 3000 units will require testing. This paper describes the system that was developed for this task.
متن کاملThe LHCb upgrade detector
The LHCb experiment has been designed to perform precision measurements of CP asymmetries and to investigate potential effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. Results obtained from data collected in 2010 and 2011 show that the detector is robust and functioning well. While LHCb will be able to measure a host of interesting channels in heavy flavour decays in the coming years, a limit of a...
متن کاملThe ALICE Inner Tracking System Upgrade
A central component of the ALICE Upgrade will be a completely new Inner Tracking System (ITS). The performance of the new ITS will be a significant improvement over that of the present ITS, in particular in the areas of material budget, granularity, a reduced radial distance from the first layer to the beam and rate capability. This will enable many key measurements of the properties of the qua...
متن کاملCalibration of the Prompt L0 Trigger of the Silicon Pixel Detector for the ALICE Experiment
The ALICE Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) is the innermost detector of the ALICE experiment at LHC. It includes 1200 front-end chips, with a total of ~10 pixel channels. The pixel size is 50 x 425 μm. Each front-end chip transmits a Fast-OR signal upon registration of at least one hit in its pixel matrix. The signals are extracted every 100 ns and processed by the Pixel Trigger (PIT) system, to ge...
