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

Project leader:

A.S. Vodopianov

Scientific Programme:
The ALICE Collaboration has proposed a dedicated detector to study high-energy heavy-ion collisions at LHC CERN.
Major responsibilities of the JINR team are the following:
1. Design and construction of the large dipole magnet for the muon spectrometer.
2. Design and construction of the readout chambers and FEE for TRD/ALICE.
3. Participation in the development and manufacture of detectors for the ALICE setup.
4. Participation in the software development for the ALICE setup.
5. Preparation of the physics research programme for LHC.
6. Preparation of the physics performance report.
7. Participation in the construction of the photon spectrometer PHOS/ALICE.

Expected main results in 2006:

Modeling and prototyping work on gaseous and crystal particle detectors. Preparation of new projects of experiments and detectors.
Production and testing of crystals for the photon spectrometer. Preparation of the test setup.
Simulation of the physics processes. Preparation of the physics programme.
Software development for simulation and track reconstruction for the tracking system.
Calculations, data analysis on the study of Cherenkov radiation and preparation of scientific articles.
Constuction and testing of TRD-chambers, assembling of new test-stand under PC control. Participation in assembling and testing of 1-st Super Module (with 30 TRD chambers) for ALICE set-up.
