A threshold imaging Cerenkov detector with CsI photocathodes

A Threshold Imaging Cherenkov (TIC) detector, in conjunction with a tracking device and a time-of-flight system, has been developed to allow pion, kaon and proton identification in the 3--8 GeV/$c$ range of momenta. The system allows spatial identification of the photons of particles above the Chere...

Descripción
Sumario:A Threshold Imaging Cherenkov (TIC) detector, in conjunction with a tracking device and a time-of-flight system, has been developed to allow pion, kaon and proton identification in the 3--8 GeV/$c$ range of momenta. The system allows spatial identification of the photons of particles above the Cherenkov threshold and their correlation to a particular track. The TIC detector uses a MWPC detector with a CsI coated photocathode for photon conversion. The results obtained in ultrarelativistic lead--lead collisions at the CERN SPS accelerator are presented.
