ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, strong-interaction sector of Standard Model. It designed to address physics strongly interacting matter and quark-gluon plasma extreme values energy density temperature in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Besides running with Pb ions, programme includes collisions lighter lower dedicated proton-nucleus runs. will also take data proton beams top collect reference for several QCD...
Abstract A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been conceived and constructed as a heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. During LHC Runs 1 2, it produced wide range of physics results using all collision systems available In order to best exploit new opportunities opening up with upgraded detector technologies, undergone major upgrade during Long Shutdown 2 (2019–2022). This comprises move continuous readout, complete overhaul core detectors, well online event processing farm redesigned...
A novel approach for designing the next generation of vertex detectors foresees to employ wafer-scale sensors that can be bent truly cylindrical geometries after thinning them thicknesses 20-40$\mu$m. To solidify this concept, feasibility operating MAPS was demonstrated using 1.5$\times$3cm ALPIDE chips. Already with their thickness 50$\mu$m, they successfully radii about 2cm without any signs mechanical or electrical damage. During a subsequent characterisation 5.4GeV electron beam, it...
The silicon strip detector (SSD) modules cover the two outermost layers of Inner Tracking System ALICE. SSD collaboration performs module assembly in several locations Europe. Mass production was launched during autumn 2004 and presently all sites are producing successfully. bonding yield spTAB interconnections is approaching close to 100%. This paper describes phases bond process development for modules, including discussion on most probable rootcauses failures long-term reliability...
The correlation of molecular neuroimaging and behavior studies in the preclinical field is major interest to unlock progress understanding brain processes assess validity drug development. However, fully achieving this ambition requires perform images awake freely moving animals, whereas most imaging procedures are currently performed under anesthesia. To achieve such a combination, MAPSSIC project aims develop pixelated intracerebral probe based on MAPS technology be implanted rats. Thanks...
