32. Status of the MFT

Diana Krupová

14/09/2023, 09:00

The MFT is a silicon tracking detector consisting of 10 layers of ALPIDE silicon sensors using CMOS technology. It extends the ALICE physics program by adding vertexing capabilities at forward rapidities and provides valuable track information thanks to its position in front of the absorber of the Muon Spectrometer. This talk will provide an overview of detector performance in 2022 and 2023...

33. Status of FDD

The Forward Diffractive Detector (FDD) is a sub-detector of the Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT) of the ALICE experiment consisting of two scintillator arrays installed, each array on one side with respect to the ALICE interaction point (IP) at very forward rapidity, at around 20 meters from the IP. The FDD has been running since 2022, collecting data from pp collision and is being tuned to run...

34. Characterisation of home-made plastics

Plastic scintillators are widely used in high-energy physics for particle detection. One example is the Forward Diffractive Detector (FDD), a sub-system of the newly-added trigger detector Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT), which was incorporated to the ALICE apparatus during a major upgrade for Runs 3 and 4. In order to fulfil the increasing requirements on future scintillators such as ultrafast...

35. My ITS3 work at CERN

Timea Szollosova

14/09/2023, 10:00

ALPIDE3 are monolithic silicon sensors under development within the upgrade program of the ALICE ITS (ITS3). During upcoming irradiation tests during fall 2023, the effects of Single Event Upset and Latch-ups are to be observed. SEUs are events of bit-flip in memory caused by energy deposited by radiation and latch-ups manifest by sudden increased power consumption. This talk will overview the...

36. Single photon detection with SiPMs

Solangel Torres Rojas, Vojtěch Zabloudil

14/09/2023, 10:40

The silicon photomultipliers are becoming a very commonly used sensor devised to measure very low levels of light (in the order of single photons) from scintillator materials, Cherenkov radiators and other light sources. Good calibration of these devices is a very useful test to adjust a proper voltage level to work in a specific experiment.
In this hands-on session, the participants will...
