Ernesto Calvo Villar, Pontificia Univ. Catolica del Peru, Lima
Ernesto is a Ph.D. student from Lima, Peru, working on the measurement of diffractive cross sections using the AD system in ALICE. He performed service tasks on the design and production of the AD detector by studying the performance of the detector using detailed Monte Carlo simulations. In Run 2, he was involved in the operation at Point 2 by taking ECS and AD shifts.
Ernesto did the RM package two years ago and will do his third RM mandate this year. During his mandate, Ernesto will supervise the resuming of the pp data taking after the light-ion runs and the vdM period. In this phase, ALICE will take pp data at 500kHz with inverted magnet polarities, which are now negative for both the solenoid and the dipole.
