Abstract

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A large bandwidth and flexible DAQ is required to collect sufficient statistics in the short running time available per year for heavy ion and to accommodate very different requirements originated from the large set of detectors and the different beams used
