Invited Talk

The past two decades have provided a wealth of experience in highly integrated front-end electronics for high energy physics. The SLHC and ILC, however, pose formidable challenges, not so much to technology, but to optimum utiliza- tion of existing technology. The increased radiation load at the SLHC drives detectors to higher segmentation, which exacerbates the problems of reducing...

34. Study of Proximity Focusing RICH with Silica Aerogel Radiator

Contributed Talk

Proximity focusing RICH based on silica aerogel Cherenkov radiator has been developed for new particle identification device in the Belle detector upgrade. To further improve detector performance, new concept for Cherenkov ring imaging has been introduced, where multiple aerogel layers with different indices are accumulated to increase detected photoelectrons without making a signle...

10. The Focusing DIRC - the first RICH detector to correct the chromatic error by timing, and the development of a new TOF detector concept

Benefiting form from the recent introduction of new fast vacuum-based pho- ton detectors with a transit time distribution of σ_TTS ∼ 30-150ps, we are developing novel RICH detector capable of correcting the chromatic error by timing, attempted the first time ever on such a scale; we are also developing a novel TOF detector concept. We have built and successfully tested a novel...

11. Results from R&D of Cherenkov detectors at Novosibirsk

Contributed Talk

The work on aerogel Cherenkov counters was started in Novosibirsk in 1986. Our group produces silica aerogels with refractive indices of 1.006–1.13. Largest block dimensions achieved for n=1.03 are 200 × 200 × 50 mm^3. Optical transparency of Novosibirsk aerogel is one of the best in the world. The particle identification system for the KEDR detector based on the ASHIPH coun- ters...

69. Liquid Xenon Gamma Ray Detector for MEG

Contributed Talk

MEG experiment is a rare muon decay search experiment. A muon rare decay μ + → e + γ violates lepton flavor conservation. The standard model predicts too small branching ratio to observe, however many new theories predict observable branching ratio. MEG experiment has sensitivity to the background ratio better than 10 −13 which is two orders of magnitude better than current...
