Description
ALICE 3 is the next-generation heavy-ion experiment proposed for LHC Run 5 and 6. Its tracking system will be based on a vertex detector, integrated into a retractable structure inside the beam pipe to achieve the best possible pointing resolution, and a large outer tracker, surrounding the vertex detector and covering a wide range of pseudorapidity. The tracking system will be based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) technology. It will leverage the sensor developments carried out for the recently upgraded ALICE Inner Tracking System and the future ALICE ITS3. The total area of the ALICE 3 silicon tracker is a factor of five, larger than the ALICE ITS2, so one of the challenges is a mass chip test and module assembly. R&D has already started to utilize an automatic die-attach machine, which is generally used in the semiconductor packaging industry. This talk will discuss the overall activities of the Korea ALICE group for developing and producing the next generation of silicon trackers.
