ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment at CERN's LHC
(Project ALICE)

Leader:

A. Vodopianov

Scientific Programme:

The ALICE Collaboration proposed a dedicated detector to study high-energy heavy-ion collisions at LHC CERN.
Major responsibilities of the JINR team are as follows:
1. Design and construction of the large dipole magnet for the muon spectrometer.
2. Participation in the development and manufacture of the detectors for the ALICE set-up.
3. Participation in the software development for the ALICE set-up.
4. Preparation of the physics research programme for LHC.

Expected main results in 2001:

Modification of the design of the dipole magnet. Beginning of the construction of the iron yoke.
Modeling and prototyping work on particle detectors. Preparation of proposals.
Simulation of physics processes. Preparation of the physics programme.
Software development for simulation and track reconstruction for the dimuon spectrometer and inner tracking system.
Data analysis on the study of Cherenkov radiation and preparation of an article.
