The NA61/SHINE detector is facing major upgrade process during Long Shutdown 2
period (2019-2021). Which is required to fulfill all assumptions of the open charm
measurement program. The main purpose of the upgrade is to increase the readout
rate by factor 10 and increase acceptance in the high density tracks environment.
The following elements of the detector are parts of the upgrade:...
The phase I RHIC beam energy scan program (BES-I) has provided promising hints in the search for a first-order transition in the QCD phase diagram and the turn-off of QGP signatures at collision energies below 20 GeV.
Several observables warrant closer investigation during the beam energy scan phase II program (BES-II) that covers the center-of-mass energy range 7.7 GeV to 19.6 GeV in...
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the CERN LHC experiment optimized for the study of the strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions and devoted to the characterization of the quark-gluon plasma. Data were collected during LHC Run 1 and Run 2 in lead-lead, proton-lead and proton-proton collisions at several energies.
To achieve the physics program for LHC Run 3,...
LHCb has the unique capability to study collisions of the LHC beams on fixed targets. Internal gas targets of helium, neon and argon have been used so far to collect samples corresponding to integrated luminosities up to 0.1 pb-1. An upgraded target, allowing a wider choice of target gas species and to increase the gas density by up to two orders of magnitude, is going to be installed for the...
The main goal of the CBM experiment at FAIR is to study the behavior of nuclear matter at very high baryonic density. This includes the exploration of the high density equation of state, search for the transition to a deconfined and chirally restored phase, critical endpoint. The promising diagnostic probes for this new states are the enhanced production of multi-strange (anti-)particles. The...
