Monica Pepe (INFN Perugia)09/06/2011, 16:00Particle IdentificationOral PresentationThe CERN NA62 experiment aims to measure the ultra-rare charged kaon decay K+ -> pi+ nu nubar(branching fraction O(10-10)) with a 10% accuracy. The detector must be able to reject background events from decay channels which branching fractions are up to 10 order of magnitude higher than the signal and with similar experimental signature. To suppress the main background from K+ -> mu+ nu decay...Go to contribution page

Davide Perego (Univ. Milano-Bicocca+ INFN)09/06/2011, 16:20Particle IdentificationOral PresentationParticle identification is the fundamental requirement of the LHCb experiment to fulfill its physics programme. Positive hadron identification is performed by two Ring Imaging CHerenkov (RICH) detectors. This system covers the full angular acceptance of the experiment and is equipped with three Cherenkov radiators to identify particles in the wide momentum range from 1 GeV/c up to 100...Go to contribution page

Dr Antonis Papanestis (RAL)09/06/2011, 16:40Particle IdentificationOral PresentationHadron identification, in particular the ability to distinguish charged kaons and pions, is crucial to many of LHCb core physics analyses. LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector fulfills this role by providing charged particle identification in the momentum range between 1 and 100 GeV/c. The calibration and monitoring of the RICH detectors is achieved using samples of $D^{*}$,...Go to contribution page

Dr Makoto Tabata (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA))09/06/2011, 17:00Particle IdentificationOral PresentationWe reported on a successful production of hydrophobic silica aerogels with a wide range of refractive index, 1.0026 < n < 1.26 in the previous TIPP09 conference. Since then highly transparent aerogels with high refractive index have been especially developed by a new production method: pin-drying method. This significant progress opens up wide opportunities to employ aerogels in Cherenkov...Go to contribution page

Masahiro Notani (Muons, Inc.)09/06/2011, 17:20Particle IdentificationOral PresentationThe next-generation of fast time-of-flight detectors, with expected time resolutions ≤ 10 ps and space resolutions ≤ 1 mm, are attractive in many fields, including particle and nuclear physics, medical and industrial applications. We will show how precise timing and space resolution can be used to improve muon cooling measurements for muon collider studies, TOF spectrometry, and particle...Go to contribution page

Dr Wander Baldini (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN))09/06/2011, 17:40Particle IdentificationOral PresentationSuperB is a next generation super-flavor factory which will be built in Italy with a strong international involvement . The project, recently approved by the Italian Government, and classified as one of the flagship projects of the Italian INFN, foresees the construction of a high intensity asymmetric electron-positron collider and of the related detector. The expected luminosity of 2 x...Go to contribution page

Dr Jochen Schwiening (GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH)11/06/2011, 11:00Particle IdentificationOral PresentationThe PANDA experiment at FAIR will address fundamental questions of the strong force, explore the structure of the nucleon, investigate Charmonium states, and search for new forms of matter using cooled antiproton beams of unprecedented intensities in the momentum range of 1-15 GeV/c. Particle identification (PID) will play a crucial role in reaching the physics goals. The charged PID in the...Go to contribution page

Dr Kurtis Nishimura (University of Hawaii)11/06/2011, 11:25Particle IdentificationOral PresentationThe Belle II detector operating at the SuperKEKB accelerator will utilize the time-of-propagation (TOP) counter as its primary particle identification device in the barrel region. The TOP counter is a compact variant of the detection of internally reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC) technique, which trades the imaging-based performance of a traditional DIRC with fast timing provided by...Go to contribution page

Neville Harnew (Univ. of Oxford (UK))11/06/2011, 11:50Particle IdentificationOral PresentationThe TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov light) detector is an innovative high-precision time-of-flight system which is suitable for large areas, up to tens of square metres, and is being developed for the upgraded LHCb experiment. The TORCH provides a time-of-flight measurement from the imaging of photons emitted in a 1 cm thick quartz radiator, based on the Cherenkov principle....Go to contribution page

Dr Michael Albrow (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL))11/06/2011, 12:10Particle IdentificationOral PresentationWe have developed particle detectors (QUARTICs) with 10 ps resolution, based on Cherenkov light in fused silica read out by micro-channel plate photomultipliers (MCP-PMTs) or silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Their geometry is edgeless, allowing an active area very close to the intense Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam, with the photodetectors away from the beam to minimize radiation damage....Go to contribution page
