Current detectors: operational experience

Invited Talk

ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, is conceived to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the properties of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ions collisions at the CERN LHC. The innermost detector of ALICE is the Inner Tracking System (ITS) which plays the essential role of primary and secondary vertex reconstruction, it is used for particle...

Current detectors: operational experience

Invited Talk

LHCb is a dedicated experiment to study New Physics in the decays of heavy hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The detector includes a high precision tracking system consisting of a silicon-strip vertex detector (VELO) surrounding the pp interaction region, a large area silicon-strip detector located upstream of a dipole magnet (TT), three stations of silicon-strip detectors...
