A Large Ion Collider Experiment – ALICE will become operational with the startup of the Large Hadron Collider – LHC at the end of 2007. One focus of the physics program is the measurement of quarkonia in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions. Quarkonia states will be measured in two kinematic regions and channels: di-muonic decays will be measured in the forward region by the muon arm, the central part of the detector will measure di-electronic decays. The presented studies show the expected performance of the di-electron measurement in proton-proton and central lead-lead collisions.

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a heavy -ion detector studying the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quarkgluon plasma at CERN’s LHC (Large Hadron Collider). During the second long shutdown of the LHC, the ALICE detector will be upgraded to cope with an interaction rate of 50 kHz in Pb–Pb collisions, producing in the online computing system (O2) a sustained input throughput of 3 TB/s. The readout software is in charge of the first step of data-acquisition, handling the data transferred from over 8000 detector links to PC memory by dedicated PCI boards, formatting and buffering incoming traffic until sent to the next components in the processing pipeline. On the 250 readout nodes where it runs, the software has to sustain a throughput which can locally exceed 100 Gb/s. We present the modular design used to cope with various data sources (hardware devices and software emulators), integrated with the central O2 components (logging, configuration, monitoring, data sampling, transport) and initiating the online data flow using the standard O2 messaging system. Performance considerations and measurements are also discussed.

Abstract In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in minimal supersymmetric models endowed with a global continuous R symmetry. We systematically catalog the significant decay channels of scalar and pseudoscalar sgluons and identify novel features that are natural in these models. These include decays in nonstandard diboson channels, such as to a gluon and a photon; three-body decays with considerable branching fractions; and long-lived particles with displaced vertex signatures. We also discuss the single and pair production of these particles and show that they can evade existing constraints from the Large Hadron Collider, to varying extents, in large regions of reasonable parameter space. We find, for instance, that a 725 GeV scalar and a 350 GeV or lighter pseudoscalar can still be accommodated in realistic scenarios.
