1. A new detector array for diffractive physics in ALICE at the LHC.

Author

Corral, Gerardo Herrera

Subjects
NUCLEAR counters, DIFFRACTIVE scattering, LARGE Hadron Collider, NUCLEAR physics, SCINTILLATORS, PROTON-proton interactions, ANGULAR momentum (Nuclear physics), HEAVY ion collisions
Abstract

We discuss some aspects of a new sub-detector for the ALICE experiment at the LHC. This detector would enhance the capabilities of ALICE to study several topics of diffractive as well as of photon induced physics. It consists of four stations of scintillator pads that would tag the diffractive gap more efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Diffractive and photon induced physics is a research area with a remarkable discovery potential at the LHC. ALICE has started a program to exploit its unique capabilities to study the subject in both proton-proton and heavy ion collisions. We discuss some aspects of a new sub-detector for the ALICE experiment at the LHC. This detector would enhance the performance of ALICE to address some relevant topics on this matter. It consists of four stations of scintillator pads that would tag the diffractive gap more efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract: ALICE is the general purpose experiment at the LHC dedicated to the study of heavy-ion collisions. The electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) is a late addition to the ALICE suite of detectors with first modules installed in ALICE this year. The EMCal is designed to trigger on high energy gamma-rays and jets, and to enhance the capabilities of ALICE for these measurements. The EMCal is a Pb/scintillator sampling shish-kebab type calorimeter. The EMCal construction, readout, and performance in beam tests at the CERN SPS and PS are described. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
