ALICE: physics with electrons

The ALICE potential for measurements of dielectron decays of quarkonia J/psi and of the Upsilon-family is discussed. The electron trigger capability of the ALICE transition radiation detector (TRD) is reviewed, and the anticipated pion rejection power is given. Furthermore, the invariant mass resolu...

Sumario:The ALICE potential for measurements of dielectron decays of quarkonia J/psi and of the Upsilon-family is discussed. The electron trigger capability of the ALICE transition radiation detector (TRD) is reviewed, and the anticipated pion rejection power is given. Furthermore, the invariant mass resolution achieved for quarkonia states is given and the signal to background ratio is presented.
