The AMS02 Cherenkov imager prototype: In-beam tests with high-energy ions

A prototype of the AMS Cherenkov imager has been tested at CERN with 20 and per nucleon ion obtained by fragmentation of a primary beam of Pb and In ions, respectively. Data have been collected with single low-intensity beam settings, over the range of nuclear charges 2<Z45 in various beam condit...

description A prototype of the AMS Cherenkov imager has been tested at CERN with 20 and per nucleon ion obtained by fragmentation of a primary beam of Pb and In ions, respectively. Data have been collected with single low-intensity beam settings, over the range of nuclear charges 2<Z45 in various beam conditions and using different radiators. The charge Z and velocity β resolution of the prototype have been measured and the aerogel material properties investigated.
