  1. ALICE study of proton-proton and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC(JINR participation) A.VODOPYANOV JINR Scientific Council Dubna, September 2011

  2. Size: 16 x 26 meters Weight: 10,000 tons TOF TRD HMPID ITS PMD Muon Arm PHOS ALICE Set-up TPC

  3. Number of events stored in 2010-2011 by ALICE: 8106 -- p-p at 0.9 TeV; 70106 – p-p at 2.76 TeV; 800106 – p-p at 7 TeV; 30106 -- Pb-Pb at 2.76 TeV. p-p data taking at 7 TeV is ongoing and Pb-Pb data taking at 2.76 is planed for this year.

  4. Display of high multiplicity events in p-p at 7 TeV in Pb - Pb at 2.76 A·TeV

  5. ALICE physics publications • 20 ALICE physics publications appeared in the journals (16 on p-p (mostly at 0.9 TeV) and 4 for Pb-Pb); • 20 publications on p-p at 7 TeV and • 10 publications on Pb - Pb are under preparation dedicated to : • Charged and neutral particle spectra, • strange and charmed particles, • particle flows, • Photons; • Quarconiaand light vector mesons.

  6. Main fields of interest and activity of JINR group Bose-Einstein correlations (femtoscopy physics): - Participation in the preparation of two published articles for Two- pion Bose-Einstein correlations in p-p and in Pb-Pb central collisions. - Responsibility for an analysis of Two-charged kaons Bose- Einstein correlations. Physics of resonances: - Participation in the analysis software creation. - Responsibility for the analysis using mixed-events background. Quarkonia physics: - Responsibility for the special Cocktail generator. - Participation in the analysis of J/   -

  7. Particle Identification in ALICE

  8. Two-pion Bose-Einstein Correlation results p-p Pb-Pb(Au-Au) Source volume and decoupling time are 2 and 1.5 times Larger than at the RHIC energy (STAR and PHOBOS) (Volume of the particle source) ( Decoupling sytem time)

  9. FIRST TIME SEEN: Bose-Einstein Correlation for two charged kaons in p-p at 7 TeV for different charged partice numbers (Nch) and pair transverse momentum (Kt) Nch>21 (3108 events) Nch<11 10<Nch<22 Kt (0.2-0.35) Kt (0.35-0.5) Kt (0.5-0.7) Kt (0.7-1.0) The lines are special fit results to extract the particle source radius R(fermi) The results were obtained & presented by JINR group in the Quark Matter 2011 Conference

  10. Two-particle Bose-Einstein Correlation results p-p at 7 TeV (fm) Comparison of particle source radii for different particle pairs: pion-pion - open points, Kch-Kch – small full points, K0-K0 – large full points. (Quark-Matter 2011 Conference) The same comparison using charged kaon data integtated over the full kT range. All these results are under discussion now in the collaboration. (ALICE, preliminary) KT (GeV/c)

  11. Resonance study in p-p at 7 TeV (Quark Matter 2011) Very good tracking system and effective mass resolution in ALICE

  12. (Quark Matter 2011 Conference) p – p collisions at 7 TeV Comparison of ϕ meson pT spectrum with the predictions of different models.

  13. Resonance study in Pb-Pb at 2.76 A·TeV K*(890) ϕ(1020)→K+K- before and after background subtraction. (ALICE preliminary)

  15. The hint at the recombination of charm and anticharm quarks in the QGP formation in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC (CERN Courier, V.51, N7, September 2011) RAA (nuclear modification factor) is the ratio of the yield measured in A-A collisions scaled by the number of binary N-N collisions to that obtained in the p-p interactions. The recombination of charm and anticharm quarks is hinted instead of dissociation of charmonium through the mechanism of colour - screening in the QGP. J/

  16. ALICE GRID

  17. Contribution of JINR computing to the whole ALICE statistics • Summary (simulated & analysis )DONE events • Analysis: the contribution of analysis jobs to summary DONE jobs for whole ALICE in time from April till December of 2010 was equal 60.9%, so at JINR ~252650 jobs have been DONE in the analysis. 250 users of ALICE, including 6 users from JINR did their analysis at JINR. • International conference presentations V International Conference"Distributed Computing and Grid-technologies in Science and Education" , Dubna , 28 June- 3 July 2010 - plenary talk of Galina Shabratova “The ALICE GRID operation” - session talk of Andrey Zarochentsev “RDIG in Simulation and Analysis of ALICE Data from LHC” А. International Conference “Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP2010)” , Taipey, 16 -22 October 2010. - poster “. Distributed Russian Tier2 centre – RDIG in Simulation and Analysis of ALICE data from LHC”,presented by Galina Shabratova. 414858 jobs have been DONE by JINR in time from April to December of 2010. What is 1.69 % of jobs DONE by whole ALICE in the same time.

  18. ALICE UPGRADE in 2017-2018 1. Barrel detectors: Inner Tracking System; Time-Projection Chamber; Photon Spectrometer; 2. Forward spectrometers: Muon spectrometer; New forward spectrometer;

  19. PHOTON SPECTROMETER UPGRADE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW READOUT ELECTRONICS: • TIMELINES: • R&D (design, prototypes, test setup) 2012-2014 • Production 2014-2017 • Installation 2017-2018 • FUNDING (850 KUSD): • R&D: 150 KUSD 50 KUSD in 2012 • Production & Testing (16 K channels): 700 KUSD • RESPONSIBILITY: JINR • EXPERIENCE: Similar work has been done for the NICA project already!

  20. The plans for the next years: • the data analysis for the chosen physics topics; • the support of the GRID ALICE system in JINR; • the shifts in the ALICE runs (180 shifts in 2010 year were held according to the ALICE plan) ; • ALICEUPGRADE: Design and Construction • of the new readout electronics for Photon Spectrometer.
