ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe the running environment and the data handling procedures, and discuss the performance of the ALICE detectors and analysis methods for various physics observables.

Performance of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC

Hybrid pixel detectors have been used as vertex detectors in most of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. Their truly 3D hit information, together with their efficiency, speed and radiation resistance make them ideal to reconstruct track and vertices in the harsh environment surrounding the LHC interaction region. Many technological challenges have been overcome to build those devices according to the specifications of the LHC experiments. Some of the key challenges will be briefly described together with the most significant results obtained with these hybrid pixel detectors. The success of this technology opens the way to larger and more sophisticated vertex detectors for the LHC upgrade program. The main developments underway for pixel detectors in this upgrade program will also be presented.

Hybrid pixel detectors at the Large Hadron Collider: Past and future

This paper aims to introduce some of the new technology and materials used in the construction of the LHC physics experiments into the domain of the beam instrumentalist. The development of radiation hard fibre-optic technology, for example, can equally well be applied to beam instrumentation systems for the direct transmission of analogue or digital signals from high to low radiation environments. Many electronics techniques such as a system developed for the fast integration of photomultiplier signals could also prove very useful in the construction of new beam diagnostic instruments for bunch-to-bunch measurements. Other topics covered will include a fast beam synchronous timing system based on laser technology and a look at pixel detectors as a possible replacement for CCD cameras in imaging applications.
