Presentation Transcript

  1. Korean ALICE Activities and High Momentum Particle IDentification in ALICE • In-Kwon Yoo • Pusan National University • for KoALICE

  2. Outline • A Large Ion Collider Experiment at LHC • Particle Identification in ALICE • Why HMPID? • High pT Suppression / Jet Quenching • pp @ LHC vs. RHIC • Discrepancy at High pT • HMPID RICH Detector • KoALICE Collaboration

  3. ATLAS CMS ALICE The ALICE • Dedicated for Heavy Ion Collision Exp. / 1000 from 100 inst. in 30 cntries.

  4. LHC Workshop 2009 PID in ALICE Solenoid magnet 0.5 T ALICE: the dedicated HI experiment Why HMPID? • Forward detectors: • PMD • FMD, T0, V0, ZDC Full azimuthal coverage : ITS, TPC, ToF ITS, TPC upto p ~ 600 MeV/c ToF upto ~ 1.2 – 1.4 GeV/c Single-arm detector : HMPID for 1 – 5 GeV/c • Specialized detectors: • HMPID • PHOS • Central tracking system: • ITS • TPC • TRD • TOF • MUON Spectrometer: • absorbers • tracking stations • trigger chambers • dipole

  5. ALICE 2010 • ITS, TPC, TOF, HMPID, MUON, V0, T0, FMD, PMD, ZDC completed • TRD 7/18 • EMCAL 4/10 • PHOS 3/5

  6. Particle Identification TPC dE/dx 7 TeV pps ≈5-6% Vertex detector pT(min)<100MeV TOF 150k channels! s ≈ 90 ps

  7. PID in ALICE

  8. Why HMPID? • High pT Suppression in AA Final Data Preliminary Data

  9. pT(assoc) > 2 GeV/c Hard associated particles → suppression 4 < pT(trig) < 6 GeV/c pT(assoc) > 0.15 GeV/c Soft associated particles→ enhancement Jet Quenching

  10. pp@LHC vs. RHIC CMS result: unexpected ‘ridge’ in high Mult. pp somewhat similar phenomenon seen at RHIC in HI collisions

  11. Nuclear Modification Factor P. Fachini (STAR) • Same RAA for ,, • Different RAA for pbar,p,Ks, e(NPE) • J/psi suppressed or not? Zhangbu Xu, QM08, Jaipur, India

  12. K/p Ratio at 900 GeV • Prel. Results: • very large K/p ratio at high pT • not reproduced by event generators

  13. HMPI Detector • RADIATOR • 15 mm liquid C6F14, n ~ 1.2989 @ 175nm, (bg)h = 1.21 • PHOTON CONVERTER • Reflective layer of CsI QE ~ 25% @ 175 nm. • PHOTOELECTRON DETECTOR • MWPC with CH4 at atmospheric pressure (4 mm gap) HV = 2050 V.

  14. VHMPI Detector Project • An Upgrade Project of HMPID • Up to 30 GeV/c • Track-by-Track PID • Just Changing the Cherenkov Radiator : ‘Gas Radiator’: C4F10 (<n>≈1.0014, γth≈18.9) • Limited Radiator length : 80cm : Concave Mirror with VUV(~150nm) reflectivity • Large photosensitive area : ~3m2 • Acceptance : 12% area of TPC, pseudo rapidity |η | < 0.5 (jet fully contained)

  15. VHMPID R&D • Much less photons → Gas Property, Mirror, CsI-PD • Online transparency measurement/cleaning system • Manufactured in PNU → Assemble in progress at CERN • Test Experiments at PS (Oct.2010) & SPS (Nov.2010) 15
