The CsI-based Ring Imaging Detector for the ALICE experiment: technical description of a large prototype

We report on the design and construction of a CsI-RICH detector composed of four CsI photocathodes, of 64$\times$40 cm$^2$ each, and two C$_6$F$_{14}$ radiator trays, of 133$\times$41 cm$^2$. A detailed description of the novel elements is given and the performance of the detector is illustrated wit...

Sumario:We report on the design and construction of a CsI-RICH detector composed of four CsI photocathodes, of 64$\times$40 cm$^2$ each, and two C$_6$F$_{14}$ radiator trays, of 133$\times$41 cm$^2$. A detailed description of the novel elements is given and the performance of the detector is illustrated with some basic results obtained during the tests at the beam.
