DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bernhard Ketzer (Univ. Bonn)\nA large Time Projectio
 n Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking device in the barrel region of the AL
 ICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. It provides state-of-the-a
 rt charged-particle tracking and identification for ultra-high multiplicit
 y particle collisions. In order to make full use of the increase in lumino
 sity after the second long shutdown of the LHC\, it is foreseen to operate
  the detector in an ungated mode with continuous readout\, thus increasing
  the event rate by two orders of magnitude.\nTo this end\, the present mul
 tiwire proportional chambers will be replaced by a system of Gas Electron 
 Multiplier (GEM) foils. Together with advanced techniques for online space
 -charge corrections\, the upgrade will enable the detector to perform to s
 pecifications under the conditions foreseen for the LHC Pb-Pb program in R
 UN 3. The talk will discuss the extensive R&D program which has been start
 ed to reach this ambitious goal and motivate the design choices which have
  been adopted.\n\nhttps://indico.inp.nsk.su/event/0/contributions/105/
