First observation of Cerenkov ring images using hybrid photon detectors

A Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detector, equipped with Hybrid Photon Detectors, has been operated in a charged-particle beam. Focussed ring images from various particle types were detected using silica aerogel, air and C$_4$F$_{10}$ gas radiators. The detector, a prototype for the CERN LHCb experiment, is...

Descripción
Sumario:A Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detector, equipped with Hybrid Photon Detectors, has been operated in a charged-particle beam. Focussed ring images from various particle types were detected using silica aerogel, air and C$_4$F$_{10}$ gas radiators. The detector, a prototype for the CERN LHCb experiment, is described and first observations are reported.
