Time expansion chambers of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD)
The TRD is segmented into 18 sectors in the azimuthal angle. Each sector consists of 6 layers in the radial direction and is composed of 5 stacks in the longitudinal direction. This amounts to 540 individual detector modules with a total active area of roughly 750 m2 and 1.2 million readout channels...
