Abstract: CERN-LHC (Large Hadron Collider) accelerator facility will provide heavy ions (Pb–Pb) collisions with a center-of-mass (CM) energy of about 5.5 TeV per nucleon pair. In the extreme conditions of temperature and energy density created in such collisions, a transition from hadronic matter towards a deconfined state of quarks and gluons is predicted by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations on the lattice. The Time Of Flight (TOF) detector system of the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) apparatus, is presently progressing in the assembling process at LHC at CERN. The TOF, in combination with the other central tracking detectors of ALICE provides an excellent Particle IDentification (PID) in the momentum range 0.2 – 2.5 GeV / c for K / π and up to 4 GeV/ c for K/p. The ALICE TOF is a barrel detector consisting of double-stack Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) strips, equipped with readout pads. The MRPC is characterized by an intrinsic time resolution below 50 ps and an efficiency over 99%. The assembling procedures, the tests of mechanics, cooling system and electronics of the 8 m long TOF “supermodules”, together with the performance tests before installation in the experimental area, will be presented.

6. Measurement of cumulative-photon spectra at high transverse momenta in 12C9Be interactions at an energy of 3.2 GeV per nucleon

Abstract: For 12C9Be interactions at a kinetic beam energy of 3.2 GeV per nucleon, the spectra of photons at laboratory angles in the range 55°–73° were measured off the kinematical region available to the interaction of single nucleons within colliding nuclei. The use of a fast trigger for selecting events involving the production of high-transverse-momentum photons made it possible to measure spectra off the kinematical boundary of four-nucleon interaction. It is shown that the proposed procedure is adequate to the problem of searches for and investigation of flucton-flucton interaction. In the kinematical region where flucton-flucton interaction can manifest itself, the cross sections in question are on the same order of magnitude as respective model predictions. In order to draw definitive conclusions on the role of flucton-flucton interaction, it is highly desirable to extend the angular range of the measurements toward smaller angles.

Lead glass calorimeters and a charged particle rejection system are the main components of the setup. A fast trigger for a high-energy cumulative particle, based on detection of Cherenkov radiation in the lead glasses, is realized in the setup.

Abstract: Usage of electrodes made of glass with low bulk resistivity seems to be a promising way to adapt the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) to the high-rate environment of the upcoming CBM experiment. A pilot four-gap RPC sample with electrodes made of phosphate glass, which has bulk resistivity in the order of 10^10 Ohm cm, has been studied with MIP beam for TOF applications. The tests have yielded satisfactory results: the efficiency remains above 95% and the time resolution stays within 120 ps up to the particle rate of 18 kHz/cm2. The increase in rate from 2.25 to 18 kHz/cm2 leads to an increase of estimated "tails" fraction in the time spectrum from 1.5% to 4%., Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Elsevier Science

Abstract: Scintillation tiles with MRS APD light readout (START) are proposed to be used as basic triggering units of a cosmic muon facility intended for regular tests of all of the numerous ALICE TOF modules in the course of their mass production and exploitation. A prototype 32-channel array of STARTs has been assembled and tested with cosmic rays and beam. With the bias voltage at approximately 50 V, the system has shown operational consistency and homogeneity, almost 100% detection efficiency over the whole surface and intrinsic noise of 10 - 2 Hz per detecting unit. If STARTs are to be mass-produced, the cost of a mosaic array is estimated at a moderate level of 3– 4 kUSD / m 2 .

Abstract: The angular distributions of secondary pions, protons, and deuterons originating from π−Pb interactions at an incident-pion momentum of 5 GeV/c was determined in a new run of measurements relying on track reconstruction. While showing a decrease over a large angular interval with increasing emission angle, the yield of cumulative particles of each species was found to be anomalously large near the backward direction.

Abstract: For the identification of particles in the momentum range 0.5– 2.5 GeV / c , the ALICE experiment uses a Time Of Flight array consisting of Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) in the form of long strips. The design of the detector elements is as follows : double stack MRPCs with glass resistive plates and 5 gas gaps of 250 μ m per stack. The latest results on the performance of these MRPCs are presented. Typical values of time resolution σ are better than 50 ps, with an efficiency of 99.9 % and a long, more than 1.5 kV, streamer-free plateau.

Kossov, Sergey Kuleshov, N.A. Goryainov, V. A. Akimov, S.M. Shuvalov, A.V. Smirnitsky, and P. V. Degtyarenko
Subjects: Nuclear physics, Systematic error, Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Nuclear Theory, Detector, Atomic number, Atomic physics, Nuclear Experiment, Polarization (waves), Kinetic energy, Instrumentation, Spectral line
Abstract: The “Lambdameter” detector was specially designed for the study of cumulative Λ0-hyperons in the region of fragmentation of a target nucleus at rest in hadron-nucleus interactions under various initial conditions (energy and species of primary particle, atomic number of the target nucleus, emission angle of a Λ0-particle). The detector is used to measure the spectra of Λ0-particles in the kinetic energy range T from 40 to 150 MeV with a ≈ 5 MeV resolution, a relative systematic error of d σ d T within the experiment of ⩽ 5%, and an absolute systematic error of ⩽ 10%. It also makes it possible to determine production cross sections (yields) with the same accuracy and polarization with an accuracy of better than 4%. Cumulative lambdas were detected at an angle of 90° in the lab system in the first run of the ITEP accelerator.

Abstract: We report on the measurement of two-pion correlation functions from pp collisions at root s = 900 GeV performed by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Our analysis shows an increase of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss radius with increasing event multiplicity, in line with other measurements done in particle- and nuclear collisions. Conversely, the strong decrease of the radius with increasing transverse momentum, as observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and at Tevatron, is not manifest in our data.

Abstract: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiment devoted to investigating the strongly interacting matter created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC energies. The ALICE ITS, Inner Tracking System, consists of six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors with three different technologies; in the outward direction: two layers of pixel detectors, two layers each of drift, and strip detectors. The number of parameters to be determined in the spatial alignment of the 2198 sensor modules of the ITS is about 13,000. The target alignment precision is well below 10 micron in some cases (pixels). The sources of alignment information include survey measurements, and the reconstructed tracks from cosmic rays and from proton-proton collisions. The main track-based alignment method uses the Millepede global approach. An iterative local method was developed and used as well. We present the results obtained for the ITS alignment using about 10^5 charged tracks from cosmic rays that have been collected during summer 2008, with the ALICE solenoidal magnet switched off., 37 pages, 15 captioned figures, 1 table, published version, figures at http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/ArtSubmission/node/3907

Abstract: An extension of the study of two particle correlations used at RHIC to LHC energies (Pb + Pb at $ \sqrt {s_{NN} } $ = 5.5 TeV) is presented. The method is based on the two-dimensional Fourier Transform used to calculate the angular autocorrelation function in (η,ϕ) space. It does not require the identification of a leading particle and is, hence, optimized to the low-pt and medium-pt region at LHC where many minijets are overlapping. We discuss the feasibility of the analysis in heavy ion collisions at the LHC using HIJING and Pythia simulations.

Abstract: All the steps which led to the construction of the ALICE-TOF detector were strictly followed by a set of quality assurance procedures to guarantee high and uniform performances. Once a module of the detector (whose basic element is the Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber) is assembled, a final test concerning the data readout applies. While the detector is taking data, both during test and physics runs, a check of the quality of the data is needed. For this purpose some monitoring tools have been developed. These tools have been used since the beginning of the TOF commissioning and finally they have also been successfully used during the first global data-taking test-runs of ALICE.

Abstract: The double-stack MRPC (Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber) strip is the basic element of the ALICE Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector. A test of a sample of MRPC strips randomly chosen from two years of mass production (the TOF is made of 1638 strips) was carried out during the autumn of 2006 at the CERN Proton Syncrotron facility. In this paper the most relevant results on the performances of the MRPCs will be presented. The results confirm that these devices have a very good uniformity of response, a long streamer-free plateau, an efficiency higher than 99% and an intrinsic time resolution better than about 40 ps.

Abstract: In this work we explore the possibility to perform ``effective energy'' studies in very high energy collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, we focus on the possibility to measure in $pp$ collisions the average charged multiplicity as a function of the effective energy with the ALICE experiment, using its capability to measure the energy of the leading baryons with the Zero Degree Calorimeters. Analyses of this kind have been done at lower centre--of--mass energies and have shown that, once the appropriate kinematic variables are chosen, particle production is characterized by universal properties: no matter the nature of the interacting particles, the final states have identical features. Assuming that this universality picture can be extended to {\it ion--ion} collisions, as suggested by recent results from RHIC experiments, a novel approach based on the scaling hypothesis for limiting fragmentation has been used to derive the expected charged event multiplicity in $AA$ interactions at LHC. This leads to scenarios where the multiplicity is significantly lower compared to most of the predictions from the models currently used to describe high energy $AA$ collisions. A mean charged multiplicity of about 1000-2000 per rapidity unit (at $\eta \sim 0$) is expected for the most central $Pb-Pb$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.5 TeV$., Comment: 12 pages, 19 figures.

Abstract: The ALICE Time Of Flight (TOF) system will perform charged particle identification in the intermediate momentum range (from 0.5 to a few GeV/c) and in the central pseudorapidity region ( | η | 0.9 ). In particular the TOF has to cover an area of ∼ 160m2 and has to be highly segmented (∼ 160000 readout pads of 2.5 × 3.7 cm2 active area) in order to keep the occupancy in Pb-Pb collisions below the 15 % level. In order to satisfy these requirements, the double-stack MRPC detector has been chosen for the TOF system. The most relevant results on the performances of the final version of the MRPC and of the front-end/readout electronics will be presented. The device has a very good uniformity, a long streamer-free plateau, an efficiency higher than 99 % and an intrinsic time resolution below 50 ps.

Abstract: The ALICE TOF array will be built using the Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber(MRPC) configured as a double stack. Each stack contains 5 gas gaps with width of 250 mu m. There has been an intense R&D effort to optimise this new detector to withstand the problems connected with the high level of radiation at the LHC. One clear outcome of the R&D is that the growth of the gas avalanche is strongly affected by space charge. The effect of the space charge is a decrease in the rate of change in gain with electric field; this allows more stable operation of this detector. We have measured the gain as a function of the electric field and also measured the ratio of the fast charge to the total charge produced in the gas gap. It is well established that RPCs built with 250 mu m gas gap have a much superior performance than 2 mm gaps; we discuss and compare the performance of 250 mu m gap MRPCs with 2 mm gap RPCs to show the importance of space-charge limitation of avalanche growth.

Abstract: The selected device for the ALICE Time-of-Flight array is the Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC). We have tested this device at the Gamma Irradiation Facility at CERN to evaluate the rate dependence. We find that the rate capability of the MRPC easily exceeds the 50 Hz/cm 2 maximum expected rate at the ALICE experiment. In addition, we have measured the power dissipated for an equivalent flux of 1.6 kHz/cm 2 of through-going muons to be 650 mW/m 2 .

Abstract: The evolution of a technique for precise and highly efficient time-of-flight measurements of minimum-ionizing particles is described. The technique is based on the use of parallel-plate chambers operating in the avalanche mode of gas amplification. The search for the proper material and design for the detector, the choice of the gas mixture composition, the results from the investigation of the gas discharge in the chamber, and the probability of a spark discharge are discussed, along with the development of fast and low-noise electronics.By optimizing the parameters of a parallel-plate chamber, a simple, reliable, and low-cost time-of-flight detector with a resolution of ∼200 ps and an efficiency of 90% or higher for minimum-ionizing particles was developed.

Abstract: ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. It currently involves more than 900 physicists and senior engineers, from both the nuclear and high-energy physics sectors, from over 90 institutions in about 30 countries. The ALICE detector is designed to cope with the highest particle multiplicities above those anticipated for Pb-Pb collisions (dN(ch)/dy up to 8000) and it will be operational at the start-up of the LHC. In addition to heavy systems, the ALICE Collaboration will study collisions of lower-mass ions, which are a means of varying the energy density, and protons (both pp and pA), which primarily provide reference data for the nucleus-nucleus collisions. In addition, the pp data will allow for a number of genuine pp physics studies. The detailed design of the different detector systems has been laid down in a number of Technical Design Reports issued between mid-1998 and the end of 2004. The experiment is currently under construction and will be ready for data taking with both proton and heavy-ion beams at the start-up of the LHC. Since the comprehensive information on detector and physics performance was last published in the ALICE Technical Proposal in 1996, the detector, as well as simulation, reconstruction and analysis software have undergone significant development. The Physics Performance Report (PPR) provides an updated and comprehensive summary of the performance of the various ALICE subsystems, including updates to the Technical Design Reports, as appropriate. The PPR is divided into two volumes. Volume I, published in 2004 (CERN/LHCC 2003-049, ALICE Collaboration 2004 J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 30 1517-1763), contains in four chapters a short theoretical overview and an extensive reference list concerning the physics topics of interest to ALICE, the experimental conditions at the LHC, a short summary and update of the subsystem designs, and a description of the offline framework and Monte Carlo event generators. The present volume, Volume II, contains the majority of the information relevant to the physics performance in proton-proton, proton-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions. Following an introductory overview, Chapter 5 describes the combined detector performance and the event reconstruction procedures, based on detailed simulations of the individual subsystems. Chapter 6 describes the analysis and physics reach for a representative sample of physics observables, from global event characteristics to hard processes.
