Description
Optical systems for RICH detectors have historically taken a variety of designs. Nowadays, technological developments allow more flexibility in the design and construction than allowed in the past, such as lightweight secondary mirrors to be placed in acceptance, widespread use of non-spherical optical surfaces, flexible and fast tools for parametric optimization of the optical systems before feeding into a full detector simulation.
Within this context, the design of the LHCb/RICH optical system for the current Run-3 data-taking of the LHC which is starting now, will be presented and compared to the parametric design of the proposed optics for upgrade-II during the HL-LHC phase.
