Achieved high granularity with 51,200 strips across 5 rings
Enhanced capabilities for studying particle multiplicities in high-energy collisions
Abstract
The ALICE Forward Multiplicity Detector (FMD) is a silicon strip detector with 51,200 strips arranged in 5 rings, covering the range . It is placed around the beam pipe at small angles to extend the charged particle acceptance of ALICE into the forward regions, not covered by the central barrel detectors.
