Description
The CERN ALICE Collaboration proposes the new ALICE 3 detection system to exploit the full potential of the HL-LHC for heavy-ion physics. The Forward Detector (FD) will be part of the ALICE 3 covering forward pseudorapidity 4 < |eta| < 7. FD will provide an interaction trigger, beam luminosity, initial vertex position, and a forward multiplicity. Its design should allow for smooth operations before and during stable beams. Offline mode will provide the precise collision time for the TOF-based particle identification, collision centrality, and reaction plane. It will also participate in the selection of diffractive and ultra-peripheral collisions. FD will operate in a high radiation environment (~ 10^14 1-MeV-neq/cm^2), requiring a special detector and FEE design. It will require dedicated fast front-end electronics (FEE) to read out events every 25 ns. In this contribution, I will cover FD requirements and design concept studies.
