After successfully completing Phase I upgrades during LHC Long Shutdown 2, the ATLAS detector is back in operation with several upgrades implemented. The most important and challenging upgrade is in the Muon Spectrometer, where the two inner forward muon stations have been replaced with the New Small Wheels (NSW) system featuring two entirely new detector technologies: small strip Thin Gap...
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) studies the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a deconfined state of nuclear matter which can be obtained in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. One of the key probes for QGP characterization is the study of quarkonia and open heavy flavour production, of which ALICE exploits the muonic decay. In particular, a set of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), placed...
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to study proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. The main goal is to assess the properties of quark gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter where quarks and gluons are deconfined, reached in extreme conditions of temperature and energy density.
One of the main observables...
The resistive Micromegas technology can stably operate up to O(10 MHz/cm$^{2}$) particle rate thanks to novel resistive spark-protection structures suitable for readout pads of a few mm$^{2}$ area. These structures are made by Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) in a double-layer configuration in most of the investigated detectors with active surfaces of $\sim 25\, \text{cm}^{2}$ and in the new one with...
