Particle identification at LHC: Alice and LHCb
نویسنده
چکیده
The Alice and LHCb collaborations equipped their detectors with many technologies to identify particles in a large momentum range, both in the barrel and the forward regions. The methods used are described and some details on the hardware implementation are given. A few physics results illustrate the performances obtained by the two detectors.

Status and expected performance of the LHCb experiment
LHCb is a dedicated b-physics experiment at the future LHC collider. Its construction has started and it will be ready to take data from the start of LHC operation, scheduled in 2007, and directly at its full physics potential. LHCb will benefit from an unprecedented source of b-hadrons, provided by LHC, to improve substantially precision measurements of CP violation parameters in many differen...

The complexity and the underground location of the new generation experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires a reliable and user friendly control system to operate such large detectors remotely. Control system experts at CERN are deeply involved in developing the JCOP (Joint Controls Project) ‘Framework’, a software running in the PVSSII SCADA (Sup...

The first collisions at the LHC are now expected in the fall of ’09 and the physics run at 10− 14 TeV will start soon after. The particle physics community eagerly waits for the answers that one expects from the LHC to a number of big questions. The main physics issues at the LHC, addressed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, will be: 1) the experimental clarification of the Higgs sector of th...
متن کاملCharm production and energy loss at the LHC with ALICE
The ALICE experiment [1] will study proton–proton (pp), proton–nucleus (pA) and nucleus–nucleus (AA) collisions at the LHC, with centre-of-mass energies per nucleon–nucleon (NN) pair, √ sNN, from 5.5 TeV (for Pb–Pb) to 14 TeV (for pp). ALICE is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC and its primary physics goal is the investigation of the properties of QCD matter at the energy densities ...
