Performance of a prototype RICH detector using hybrid photo-diodes

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

A prototype Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detector has been operated in a charged particle test beam, Cherenkov photons are imaged onto a plane of hybrid photo-diode detectors. The geometrical arrangement of the prototype and data-taking conditions are described. An analysis of the detector performance, us...

description A prototype Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detector has been operated in a charged particle test beam, Cherenkov photons are imaged onto a plane of hybrid photo-diode detectors. The geometrical arrangement of the prototype and data-taking conditions are described. An analysis of the detector performance, using silica aerogel, air and C/sub 4/F/sub 10/ gas radiators, is presented. The photon yields and observed Cherenkov angle resolutions are found to be in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulation and satisfy the requirements of the RICH 1 detector in the LHCb experiment.
