الوصف: The ALICE experiment is devoted to measure the properties of the strongly interacting mat-ter created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC at SNN = 5.5 TeV. Heavy ion collisions at RHIC have shown an anomalously high baryon to meson ratio in the so called intermediate momen-tum range of 2 to 6 GeV/c. Theoretical predictions, using different arguments, foreseen that the baryon enhancement at LHC will be present in a momentum range higher than at RHIC, namely pT = 10- 30 GeV/c. To be able to study this phenomenon in details, upgrades of the ALICE detector systems to extend track-by-track identification capability of protons up to 10 GeV/c and more, are necessary. A possible upgrade is under study. Different solutions have been taken into account, but the more interesting consists of a ring imaging Cherenkov detector, that exploits the focusing properties of a spherical mirror and gas C4F10 as Cherenkov radiator. The photons de-tection is provided by a multiwire chamber or a GEM-like detector coupled with pad-segmented CsI photocathodes. The new device has been named VHMPID (Very High Momentum Particle Identification Detector). Description of VHMPID and performance results from simulation are reported.
