✦ Synopsis

The ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) enhances the detection sensitivity of heavyflavour production of the ALICE experiment at the LHC by providing electron identification above p T > 1 GeV/c and fast trigger capabilities above p T > 3 GeV/c. The combined particle identification from the Inner Tracking System (ITS), the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and the Transition Radiation Detector enables measurements of D-mesons and Bmesons and, potentially, the Λ b , assuming the reconstruction of the Λ + c .
