β¦ Synopsis
For the ALICE Collaboration
The ALICE forward muon spectrometer has been designed to measure the complete spectrum of heavy quark vector mesons via their muonic decay in pp, proton-nucleus (pA) and nucleusnucleus (AA) collisions. The design criteria are presented. The proposed technical realization of the spectrometer and its expected physics performance are summarized.

ALICE, the dedicated heavy ion experiment at the LHC, has also an important physics program with protonproton collisions. The main purpose of the experiment is to investigate the properties of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy density where the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma is expe
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.
