Descripción
Sumario:<P>Presentation made at EPS-HEP'99 and submitted to IOP Publishing<P>We present a phenomenological model which describes the formation of a Centauro fireball in nucleus-nucleus interactions in the upper atmosphere and at the LHC, and its decay to non-strange baryons and strangeness-rich objects. We describe the CASTOR calorimeter for the ALICE experiment at the LHC. CASTOR will probe the very forward, baryon-rich phase space 5.6<U><</U>eta<U><</U>7.2 in 5.5xA TeV central Pb+Pb collisions. We present results of simulations for the response of CASTOR to the passage of strangeness-rich objects.
