The recently constructed H4-VLE beam line, a tertiary extension branch of the existing H4 line in CERN North Area, was commissioned October 2018. designed with purpose providing very low energy (VLE) hadrons and positrons to NP-04 experiment, momentum range $1--7\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/c$. production these low-energy particles is achieved mixed hadron (pions, kaons, protons), $80\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/c$ secondary impinging on thick target. has been instrumented prototype scintillating...
Abstract The upgrade of the ALICE TPC will allow experiment to cope with high interaction rates foreseen for forthcoming Run 3 and 4 at CERN LHC. In this article, we describe design new readout chambers front-end electronics, which are driven by goals experiment. Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors arranged in stacks containing four GEMs each, continuous electronics based on SAMPA chip, an development, replacing previous elements. construction these elements, together their associated...
Abstract This paper aims to provide a basis for teachers interested in bringing modern particle detectors into their classrooms. In particular, it gives an overview of the basic principles detectors, linking them concepts that are already part curriculum. addition, explains essential detector components present all systems, and how information they leads identification. By highlighting relevant classroom resources, this serves as valuable guide seeking include physics teaching, set within...
Abstract To operate the ALICE Time Projection Chamber in continuous mode during Run 3 and 4 data-taking periods of Large Hadron Collider, multi-wire proportional chamber-based readout was replaced with gas-electron multipliers. As expected, detector performance is affected by so-called common-mode effect, which leads to significant baseline fluctuations. A detailed study pulse shape new has revealed that it also ion tails. Since reconstruction data compression are performed fully online,...
Abstract For many decades the CERN North Area facility at Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) has delivered secondary beams to various fixed target experiments and test beams. In 2018, two new tertiary extensions of existing beam lines, designated “H2-VLE” “H4-VLE”, have been constructed successfully commissioned. These lines designed provide charged particles both polarities in momentum range from 0.3GeV/ c 12GeV/ c. During design phase, multiple simulation tools techniques employed optimize...
Abstract The beamlines at CERN’s North and East Areas offer secondary beams in a wide range of momenta between 0.5 GeV/ c 400 for fixed-target experiments as well test beam campaigns with flexible configuration variable composition intensities. Recently, two new facilities neutrino detectors tests have been established an extension the CERN Area context Neutrino Platform project. These tertiary extend current capabilities H2 H4 towards lower 0.3 to 12 , respectively 7 currently serve...
