| contents | Perspectives of the ALICE Experiment Paolo Giubellino Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas The Large Hadron Collider, now under contruction at the European Center for Nuclear Research, representsa unique opportunity for Heavy-Ion Physics. It will provide nuclear collisions at a center-of-mass energy30 times higher then the present Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL, currelty the highest energy nuclearaccelerator. The LHC will open for this field a new era, in which particle production will be dominated byhard processes, and the energy densities will possibly be high enough to treat the generated quark-gluon plasmaas an ideal gas. While RHIC is providing a wealth of interesting data, many physicists are working hard toprepare the experiments which will run at the LHC. ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, the dedicateddetector designed to study nucleusnucleus collisions at the LHC, is developing rapidly: the R&D is essentiallycomplete, and large parts of the main detectors are in production. The scientific motivations and present statusof Heavy Ion Physics, can be found in the review by T. Kodama [1]. In the following, I will summarize theexperimental conditions at the LHC with nuclear beams, describe the main detector components of ALICE andbriefly discuss the physics program of the experiment. 2004 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46400103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.1A Vol.34 |
