Outline of Final Research Achievements

To study the property of Quark Gluon Plasma, we have implemented a di-jet calorimeter (DCAL) and a trigger system for the DCAL at the LHC ALICE experiment. Both system have been implemented and operated successfully. Full jet analysis using DCAL is in progress.
