Upgrades and New Experiments: Parallel 2
- Thomas Hemmick (Stony Brook University)
A fundamental ingredient of the ALICE physics programme for the new decade is a comprehensive study of charm and multi-charm baryon production. Because charm is exclusively produced in initial hard scatterings, such measurements may provide unique insight into the QGP medium as well as hadronization from proton-proton to lead-lead collisions.
We will present a new method for detection of...
LHCb has the unique capability to operate in fixed-target mode to study collisions of the LHC beams on fixed targets. In Run3, the internal gas target is going to be upgraded to allow for a wider selection of target gas species and a significant increase of the rates of fixed target collisions by up to two orders of magnitude. Along with significant data acquisition and tracking upgrades, the...
A new heavy-ion experiment on fixed target, NA60+, has been proposed at the CERN SPS for data taking in the next years. Its main goals will be focused on precision studies of thermal dimuons, heavy quark and strangeness production in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energies ranging from 5 to 17 GeV. The experiment will profit from the high-intensity beams provided by the CERN SPS, that will...
In the coming years, the Nuclotron at JINR in Dubna will deliver gold beams with energies of up to 3.8A GeV and intensities of up to 2.5106 ions/s. These beams are well suited for experiments devoted to the study of the equation of state of dense baryonic matter, and the exploration of microscopic degrees of freedom emerging at neutron star core densities. The relevant observables in...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will investigate the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities (µB > 500 MeV) in the collision energy range of √sNN = 2.7−4.9 GeV with high interaction rate, up to 10 MHz, provided by the SIS100 accelerator. Enhanced production of strange baryons can signal transition to a new phase of the QCD matter. Λ hyperons are the...
