In the framework of the ALICE physics program, the goal of the muon spectrometer is the study of quarkonia and open heavy flavors production via the muonic decay channel in a wide range of transverse momentum and in the pseudo-rapidity range -4.0 < Ξ· < -2.5. The trigger system of the muon spectromet

Results from high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC have shown the importance of particle identification in a very large momentum range, in particular for protons. The ALICE experiment has unique capabilities to identify particles; however its momentum coverage for track-by-track identificat
Protons identification up to 10 GeV=c and more is a challenge. We present here an exhaustive study of the possibilities offered by a combination of a gaseous radiator having low index of refraction (C 5 F 12 ) with the proven concept of large area CsI photocathodes, instrumenting either a multiwire
