Title: Performance of the Zero Degree Calorimeters of ALICE at LHC
Abstract content The Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) of ALICE consist of two sets of neutron and proton calorimeters, located 112.5 m away from the interaction point, complemented by two small forward electromagnetic calorimeters. In this talk the ZDC performance in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV will be discussed, focusing on event selection capabilities, event centrality and event plane determination. Additionally, the ZDC system operated as the ALICE luminometer, providing in particular the first measurement of neutron emission in electromagnetic dissociation of Pb nuclei at the LHC. The performance of the ZDC detector in the p-Pb data taking at √sNN = 5.02 TeV will also be shown, in particular its use as centrality estimator. Finally, the R&D activities in view of the future runs will be presented.
