Descripción
Sumario:The main physics goal of the ALICE experiment at CERN is study of properties of strongly interacting matter in nucleus-nucleus collisions at, LHC. Measurements of the heavy flavor production require excellent vertex resolution at a very high granularity. The first two layers of the silicon tracking system will be equipped with pixel detectors. In this paper we describe the design of this detector and first results of measurements with detector prototypes. (5 refs).
