As I was writing a talk for a conference, I ran into a bunch of pictures of ALICE that I thought y’all might like to see. In my last post I gave an overview of ALICE and described each of the subsystems in ALICE. I don’t have a picture of every subsystem, but to give you an idea of what these pieces look like:
This is the ALICE magnet (which used to be the L3 magnet) in 2001, before any of the detectors were installed inside of it.
This is the hole inside the TPC where the ITS sits now
This is the whole ITS when it was being installed
Here you can see the PMD team in front of the PMD
This shows the PMD after it was installed in ALICE
Here you can see piece of the TRD right before it was installed
This is the HMPID right before it was installed
This is one of the trays of the TOF
And here you can see one of the EMCal supermodels right before it was installed
And this is the ALICE collaboration in front of ALICE
(Note to ALICE collaborators – if you didn’t see a picture of your favorite subsystem, email it to me. If I get enough cool ALICE pictures for another post, I’ll do a follow up with more gratuitous cool pictures of ALICE.)
