Yi Yang for the STAR Collaboration (National Cheng Kung University (TW))05/11/2019, 16:20Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The Beam Energy Scan program (BES) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is dedicated to exploring the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram and search for the critical point of the QCD phase transition. The results from the BES phase I program show hints of a first-order phase transition in the QCD phase diagram and the turn-off of the characteristic signatures of the quark gluon...

Adam Kisiel for the NICA/MPD Collaboration (Warsaw University of Technology (PL))05/11/2019, 16:40Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The Multi-Purpose Detector is under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, as part of the NICA Accelerator Complex. It aims to study the phase diagram of QCD matter at maximum baryonic density, determine the nature of the phase transition between the deconfined and hadronic matter and search for the critical point in the diagram. The current status of the construction of MPD...

Viktor Klochkov for the CBM Collaboration (Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe Univ. (DE))05/11/2019, 17:00Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) at FAIR aims to study the area of the QCD phase diagram at high net baryon densities and moderate temperatures using heavy-ion collisions. The FAIR accelerator will provide high-intensity heavy-ion beams up to Au ions in the energy range 2-11 GeV per nucleon. In order to achieve it's physics goals and to perform multi-differential measurements of...

Pasquale Di Nezza for the LHCb Collaboration (INFN e Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (IT))05/11/2019, 17:20Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The largely unknown parton distribution functions of nuclei and the similarities observed between high-multiplicity pp and pPb events compared to PbPb, often described by means of hydrodynamics, are the main motivations for an extended pPb data taking program during LHC Run 3 and Run 4. The future increase in luminosity combined with the LHCb unique detector capabilities will allow to perform...

Andre Govinda Stahl Leiton for the CMS Collaboration (Rice University (US))05/11/2019, 17:40Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undergoing an extensive Phase II upgrade program to prepare for the challenging conditions of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). A new timing layer is designed to measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of ~30 ps and hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of $|\eta|$=3. The precision...

Yuanjing Ji for the sPHENIX Collaboration (University of Science and Technology of China)05/11/2019, 18:00Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The sPHENIX detector at BNL’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will measure a suite of unique jet and Upsilon observables with unprecedented statistics and kinematic reach at RHIC energies. A MAPS-based vertex detector upgrade to sPHENIX, the MVTX, will provide a precise determination of the impact parameter of tracks relative to the primary vertex in high multiplicity heavy ion...

Felix Reidt for the ALICE Collaboration (CERN)05/11/2019, 18:20Future facilities and instrumentationOral Presentation
The ALICE experiment at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) of the LHC during 2019-2020. The key elements regarding the central barrel are the installation of a new Inner Tracking System (ITS) and the upgrade of the large Time Projection Chamber (TPC).
The TPC, the main tracking and PID device of ALICE, is currently being upgraded with a new readout system,...
