Elliptic flow of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV (2016, unknown): “The ITS [53] detector consists of six cylindrical silicon layers surrounding the beam vacuum tube.”
Multiplicity dependence of light-flavor hadron production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV (2019, methodology): “The ITS, used as a standalone tracker, enables the reconstruction and identification of low momentum particles down to 100 MeV/c that do not reach the TPC.”
3ΛH and -3Λ-H production in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV (2015, background): “The ITS [20] has six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors with radii between 3.9 and 43 cm from the beam axis, covering the full azimuthal angle and the pseudorapidity range of | h | 0 .”
Production of light nuclei and anti-nuclei in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (2015, unknown): “The main detectors used in this analysis are the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) [25], the Time-Of-Flight detector (TOF) [26], and the Inner Tracking System (ITS) [27].”
Λ c + production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV (2017, background): “…pipe, and its very low material budget [65] allow for a precise determination of the track impact parameter (i.e. the distance of closest approach of the track to the primary vertex) in the transverse plane, for which a resolution better than 75 µ m is achieved for tracks with p T > 1 GeV/ c [65].”
J/ψ suppression at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV (2016, methodology): “In addition, the Silicon Pixel Detector (SPD) [29] is used to reconstruct the primary vertex.”
Direct photon production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV (2015, methodology): “The ITS and the TPC were aligned with respect to each other to t he level of less than 100 μm using cosmic-ray and pp collision data [37].”
Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions (2018, background): “es of energy density (>10 GeV=fm3) and temperature (0.2 GeV) in nucleus-nucleus collisions [101, 102]. Fig. 11 shows a schematic view of the ALICE detector system. The Inner Tracking System (ITS) [103] is the subsystem that is closest to the beam pipe. The main tasks of the ITS are to reconstruct”
