68. Status of the MFT

Sára Haidlová

19/09/2024, 14:30

The Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) is a silicon pixel detector that was installed as part of the ALICE upgrades in preparation for Run3. This talk presents the current status of MFT together with an overview of its performance during a crucial Pb-Pb data-taking period in 2023. Furthermore, the talk shows several upgrades that were done to various MFT subsystems in order to improve the detector...

69. The MuonID project

The ALICE collaboration is proposing a full detector upgrade to be installed during the Long Shutdown 4. The subsystem discussed in this talk is the Muon Identifier (MID), which will focus on the J/psi at rest reconstruction. This set the requirement for identification of the muons at 1.5 GeV/c transverse momenta with this detector. The current progress of the scintillator working group and...

70. Development of scintillator nanocomposites for UNICORN

Vojtěch Zabloudil

19/09/2024, 15:10

An overview of the European project UNICORN which aims to develop novel scintillators based on composites with quantum dots. This talk focuses on the decoupling of light absorption and Rayleigh scattering within the composite via numerical simulations in Geant4 complemented by experimental characterisations of developed samples.

71. Photon detection system for ProtoDUNE at CERN

Michaela Zabloudil

19/09/2024, 15:30

The ProtoDUNE experiment at CERN is crucial in advancing our understanding of neutrino physics and particle detection technologies. This talk will explore the innovative processes used in ProtoDUNE, with a focus on transforming waveform data into charge histograms. By converting complex waveform signals into meaningful charge distributions, we gain critical insights into particle interactions...

72. Construction of a Forward Diffractive Detector prototype with new light readout

Matej Tonka

19/09/2024, 16:10

ALICE needs to upgrade current FDD (Forward Diffractive Detector) for Run 4. There are several problems that require to be eliminated for run 4 but mainly my thesis deals with shortening time response signal. In my presentation I will discuss basics of FDD, current problems with it, solutions and what to expect from my work in months to come.

73. Hands on

Solangel Rojas Torres, Timea Szollosova

19/09/2024, 16:30

What is the simplest detector you can think of? This session will connect the well-known theory of the Geiger tubes with the physical detectors. Simple measurements with various Geiger tubes and
different power sources will be performed.

74. Cloud chamber in the clouds
