Sumario:A solution for particle identification in the LHCb upgrade is proposed. It involves the removal of RICH-1, and the replacement of RICH-2 with a full-acceptance RICH detector with twin radiato rgases. This provides improved performance compared to the existing layout, while requiring fewer photodetectors. Since the photodetectors and their associated readout electronics dominate the cost of such detectors, this is a cost-effective way to provide outstanding particle identification for the upgrade.
