  3. 8. Physics with the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector
    Dr Yvonne Pachmayer (University of Heidelberg)
    14/09/2011, 09:45
    ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. It is believed that in nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC energies a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) is formed. ALICE is designed to measure a large set of observables in order to study the properties of the QGP. The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) provides electron identification in the ALICE central...

    Mr Christoph Blume (University of Heidelberg)
    14/09/2011, 10:20
    The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) of ALICE at the CERN-LHC is designed to provide electron identification and an online trigger on high-pt tracks of electron candidates. It consists of 6 layers of drift chambers, covering a pseudo-rapidity range of |eta| < 0.9. In its current configuration, 10 out of 18 sectors in azimuth are installed.

    Mr Xianguo Lu (University of Heidelberg)
    14/09/2011, 11:15
    The ALICE experiment is one of the four major experiments at the LHC at CERN. The ALICE TRD is a cylindrical detector system located in radius between 2.9 and 3.7 meters from the beamline and segmented in 6 layers. Each layer consists of a radiator and a drift chamber with pad readout of very good granularity, optimized for Pb-Pb operation. Employing a cosmic-ray trigger and taking...

    14/09/2011, 11:40
    The TRD is an important subsystem of the ALICE experiment at the LHC at CERN. Segmented into 18 super modules, each consisting of 30 readout drift chambers filled with Xe-CO2 [85-15], the ALICE TRD is designed to be an effective tool in terms of separation of electrons and pi- ons, reconstruction of tracks of charged particles and fast trigger capabilities. Each readout chamber consists...

    Overview of the R&D work related to the development of the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is presented. Significant part of the report will be dedicated to the ideas and aside R&D work, which were not necessary realised in the final TRT design, but were directed to find appropriate solutions and might still be interesting for the developments of the transition radiation detectors and...

  26. 3. TRD based on the usage of thin scintillators.
    Dr Vladimir Tikhomirov (P.N.Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science)
    15/09/2011, 17:30
    Detector based on the usage of thin scintillators is proposed for particle identification by TRD. Such type of TRD may be especially interesting for space experiments because of no gas. The detector is based on the thin transparent films with incorporated micro-granules of LuBO3:Ce scintillator. Scintillation signal produced by absorbed gammas is registered by vacuum PMT or by SiPM connected...

  27. 11. Electron identification with help of silicon transition radiation detector based on DEPFET pixel matrices.
    Dr Sergey Furletov (University of Bonn)
    15/09/2011, 17:55
    Transition Radiation Detectors (TRD) have the attractive features of being able to separate particles by their gamma factor. Replacing the Xenon based gaseous detectors by modern silicon detectors is complicated by the large energy losses of charged particles in 300-700 um of silicon. A silicon pixel detector - DEPFET - has features which allows to overcome the existing limitation on...

    Dr Francesco Loparco (BA)
    15/09/2011, 18:20
    The Silicon Transition Radiation Detector (SiTRD) combines the excellent space resolution of a silicon tracker with the particle identification capability of a conventional TRD. The detector consists of multiple modules, each composed by a radiator and a tracker plane, separated by an air gap and immersed in a magnetic field. This layout allows to separate the TR photons possibly produced by...

    16/09/2011, 10:35
    The large Time-Of-Flight (TOF) array is one of the main detectors devoted to charged hadron identification in the mid-rapidity region of the ALICE experiment at the LHC; it will allow separation among pions, kaons and protons up to few GeV/c, covering the full azimuthal angle and -0.9 < η < 0.9. The TOF exploits the innovative MRPC technology capable of an intrinsic time resolution better than...
