in 2008

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. Startup of the ALICE detector. Beginning of the data taking.
2. Participation in the design and construction of ALICE detector subsystems.
3. Participation in the development of software.
4. Preparation of the physics project in relativistic heavy ions and protons beams.
5. Construction of transition radiation detectors.
6. Participation in the development and construction of photon
7. Preparation to the reconstruction and analysis of LHC data in the distributed computing environment-GRID. Data analysis.

Expected main results in 2008:

Participation in the startup of ALICE detector. Participation in shifts for testing of detectors and data taking.
Procurement of lead tungstate crystals for photon spectrometer.
Participation in the physics project preparation. Physics simulation of heavy ions and protons interactions at LHC energies.
Software development of the track reconstruction.
Analysis of Cherenkov radiation data and preparation of publications.
Construction of transition radiation detectors.
Organization of Physics Data Challenges in Russia and JINR.
Participation in the assembly of ALICE setup.
