The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for NuclearResearch (CERN) is the world's largest and most powerful particle acceleratorcolliding beams of protons and lead ions at energies up to 7 ZTeV, Z is theatomic number. ALICE is one of the detector experiments optimised for heavy-ioncollisions. A fixed-target experiment in ALICE is being considered to collide aportion of the beam halo, split using a bent crystal inserted in the transversehierarchy of the LHC collimation system, with an internal target placed a fewmeters upstream of the existing detector. This study is carried out as a partof the Physics Beyond Collider effort at CERN. Fixed-target collisions offermany physics opportunities related to hadronic matter and the quark-gluonplasma to extend the research potential of the CERN accelerator complex.Production of physics events depends on the particle flux on target. Themachine layout for the fixed-target experiment is developed to provide a fluxof particles on the target high enough to exploit the full capabilities of theALICE detector acquisition system. This paper summarises the fixed-targetlayout consisting of the crystal assembly, the target and downstream absorbers.We discuss the conceptual integration of these elements within the LHC ring,the impact on ring losses, and expected performance in terms of particle fluxon target.
