Special features of detectors, electronics, and trigger system of the ALICE setup

Abstract

Special features and parameters of detectors, front end electronics, and trigger electronics of the ALICE setup, which is intended for investigations of ultrarelativistic nucleon-nucleon collisions at the LHC and for studies of heavy ion collisions, starting from protons to several types of ions, which have 5.5 TeV/nucleon energy in the center of mass, are described. One of the first collisions of lead ions was recorded by the ALICE detector
