Plenary Talk

A large-area detector system has been developed for measuring coincident fission fragments in experiments with reaccelerated rare isotope beams. The system consists of two 30 x 40 cm2 position-sensitive detectors based on the Multi-Mesh Thick Gas Electron Multipliers (MM-THGEM) and one 10 x 10 cm2 position-sensitive Multi-Wire Proportional Counter (MWPC). All detectors are operated in low...

Plenary Talk

The ALICE experiment underwent major upgrades during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (2019–2022), including the installation of the new Inner Tracking System, ITS2. The detector consists of seven layers based on ALPIDE CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors, comprising 12.5 billion pixels over an active area of about 10 m² and providing an intrinsic spatial resolution of about 5 µm. With its high...
