The LHCb experiment is planning a phase II Upgrade to fully exploit the potential of Hi-Lumi LHC. Starting from Run5, the LHCb experiment is expected to operate with a 50-fold increase in luminosity compared to its original design. The RICH system at LHCb is in charge of delivering charge particle identification over a wide momentum range: 2.6-100 GeV. The RICH1 and RICH2 detectors have been...
The Belle II experiment is planning an upgrade in early thirties to adapt the spectrometer for operation at an upgraded SuperKEKEB accelerator. In this context the ARICH detector, a proximity-focusing RICH with a two-layer (focusing) aerogel radiator will be upgraded. The main focus will be an upgrade of the photodetector with either SiPMs or MCP-PMTs and fast read-out electronics. A possible...
The TORCH detector is a proposed large-area time-of-flight detector, which aims to enhance the particle identification performance of the LHCb experiment in the 2-15 GeV/c momentum range. The detector concept comprises 18 quartz radiator modules, which combined span the 6m-by-5m detector acceptance. The modules must be supported by a light-weight structure. Charged particles passing through...
A detector aiming to perform combined measurements of Time-of-Flight and Cherenkov photon angles is under development. The device consists of a proximity focusing RICH detector equipped with SiPMs as Cherenkov photon sensors. A 1 mm thin fused silica slab, acting as a second Cherenkov radiator, is coupled to the SiPMs for precise timing measurements due to the Cherenkov photoelectron...
