Emission of forward neutrons by 158A GeV indium nuclei in collisions with Al, Cu, Sn and Pb
No full textThe cross sections of forward emission of one, two and three neutrons by 158A GeV In-115 nuclei in collisions with Al, Cu, Sn and Pb targets are reported. The measurements were performed in the framework of the ALICE-LUMI experiment at the SPS facility at CERN. Various corrections accounting for the absorption of beam nuclei and produced neutrons in target material and surrounding air were introduced. The corrected cross section data are compared with the predictions of the RELDIS model for electromagnetic fragmentation of In-115 in ultraperipheral collisions, as well as with the results of the abrasion ablation model for neutron emission in hadronic interactions. The measured neutron emission cross sections well agree with the RELDIS results, with the exception of In-Al collisions where the measured cross sections are larger compared to RELDIS. This is attributed to a relatively large contribution of hadronic fragmentation of In on Al target with respect to electromagnetic fragmentation, in contrast to similar measurements performed earlier with 30A GeV Pb-208 colliding with Al.

The CSI-based RICH detector array for the identification of high momentum particles in ALICE
No full textAfter ten years of R&D activities, an array of seven proximity focusing RICH modules is being built to identify pi-K in the range 1 < p < 2.7 GeV/c and K-p in the range 1.5 < p < 5 GeV/c in the ALICE experiment at LHC. This device, named High Momentum Particle Identification Detector (HMPID), with a total active area of 11 m(2), represents the largest scale application of MWPCs with high Quantum Efficiency (QE) CsI segmented photo-cathodes for the Cherenkov photon conversion. An overview of the RICH layout, the technique of photocathode production, the front-end (FE) and readout (R/O) electronics and finally the detector control system (DCS), are presented.

Neutron emission in electromagnetic dissociation of ultrarelativistic Pb ions
No full textNew data on forward neutron emission in fragmentation of 30A-GeV Pb-208 ions on Al, Cu, Sn, and Pb nuclei are presented. The measurements were performed at the CERN SPS in the framework of the ALICE-LUMI experiment. The measured cross sections are compared with predictions of the RELDIS model for electromagnetic interactions and with results of the abrasion-ablation model for hadronic interactions. The electromagnetic excitation of a Pb projectile followed by single- and double-neutron emission is found to be the dominant process in full agreement with theoretical estimations. The measured 1nX cross sections are generally well described. The measured 2nX data, which are 4-5 times lower than the 1nX data, are slightly underestimated by theory. Nevertheless, the sum of 1nX and 2nX cross sections is in good agreement with theory. This confirms the predictive power of the RELDIS model, which can be used to calculate the sum of 1nX and 2nX emission rates for the purpose of calibration of luminosity measurements in PbPb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
