Resumen

ALICE is an experiment devoted to heavy ion physics at LHC. The underground location of the apparatus with 30m of overburden can be exploited for studying cosmic rays through the muons reaching the experiment. The ALICE setup includes a cosmic ray trigger system (ACORDE), a big TPC designed to track large densities of charged particles, a TRD and a TOF all of which can be used for the detection of atmospheric muons. These instruments open new possibilities on the study of cosmic ray physics, mainly in the range of primary energies around 10^15-17 eV. Here we discuss the design of ACORDE, including the performance of the plastic scintillator material available to build the ACORDE counter array, the simulated response of this array to atmospheric muons arriving at the ALICE hall, as well as the proposed electronics design for this cosmic ray trigger. We also discuss the integration of the ACORDE scintillator array into the ALICE detector.
