Description
A proposal to incorporate a new subdetector into the ALICE detector
at the LHC is presented. The new system consists of four stations
of scintillator pads at 20 and 55 meters from the interaction point
on both sides. The system would extend the rapidity coverage
increasing the sensitivity of the experiment to tag the diffractive
rapidity gap.
The new system would enhance the capability of ALICE to address
several subjects on diffractive physics as well as on photon induced
physics in both proton-proton and peripheral ion-ion collisions.
