Parallel Session 8.2: Future Experimental Facilities, Upgrades, and Instrumentation
- James Lawrence Nagle (University of Copenhagen (DK))
The project NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) is aimed to study hot and baryon rich QCD matter in heavy ion collisions in the energy range √s_NN = 4 - 11 GeV. The heavy ion program includes the study of collective phenomena, dilepton, hyperon and hypernuclei production under extreme conditions of highest baryonic density. This program will be performed with the MPD (MultiPurpose...
This presentation will review the projected accelerator performance and the physics opportunities for a heavy-ion programme at FCC-hh [1]. In addition, the status of the FCC-hh detector design studies will be discussed.
The FCC-hh Design Study will assess the feasibility and potential of a hadron collider with a centre-of-mass of 100 TeV for pp collisions. The status of the project will be...
QCD matter physics at the future FAIR facility in Germany
Peter Senger (GSI) for the CBM Collaboration
Abstract
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon...
The QCD phase diagram has been explored in the high temperature side at RHIC and LHC, while the high density side is barely explored. Systematic studies of the QCD matter from Bevalac to LHC energies have suggested that the highest density QCD matter can be reached around the AGS energies (sqrt(s_{NN})=~5-GeV) where a rich production of strange hadrons is expected.
The future heavy-ion...
The ALICE TPC will undergo a major upgrade during the next LHC long shutdown in preparation for the higher luminosity planned for LHC Run-3 to start in 2021. This upgrade will allow ALICE to access new levels of sensitivity for untriggered processes. The present TPC is limited to recording minimum bias lead-lead collisions at a rate of about 1000 Hz. The upgrade will allow recording the...
The ALICE experiment will undergo a major upgrade during the next LHC Long Shutdown (LS2) scheduled in 2019-20 that will allow to study in detail the QGP properties exploiting the increased Pb-Pb luminosity expected during Run 3 and Run 4.
The replacement of the existing Inner Tracking System (ITS) with a completely new ultra-light high-resolution detector is one of the cornerstones within...
