1 Photon Physics in ALICE from conversion electrons A. Marin (for the AliCE Collaboration) Introduction: Photon detection via conversion method Physics results with conversion electrons: CERES, STAR Perspectives in ALICE Conclusions and outlook
2 The Large Hadron Collider CMS LHCb ALICE Palaver SS2009 (Heidelberg) ATLAS 7/15/2009
3 ALICE: The dedicated HI Experiment Photon detectors in ALICE: PHOS, EMCAL, PMD
4 Interaction of photons with matter Photoelectric effect Compton scattering Pair production: Eγ>1.02MeV Electromagnetic Calorimeters: The complete photon energy is deposited in the detector (electromagnetic shower) Photon measurement via conversion electrons: Calculate photon momentum and direction by measuring e + /e - from a single conversion in tracking detectors ALICE ( ITS+TPC+TRD)
5 Photons via conversion electrons Identify photons converting in the beampipe, ITS and TPC Clean photon identification Provide directional information Non vertex background (important source of systematic errors in measurement of direct photons) can be rejected. Good momentum resolution for charged tracks The best resolution at low p T Good resolution also at high p T. Independent measurement of the same quantities, with different systematics compared to PHOS/EMCAL. Main drawback: knowlegde of the material budget in the detector. Exact composition and geometry are needed. Main source of systematic errors in this method
