  1. 54. Detectors for particle identification
    Peter Krizan (Univ. Ljubljana)
    23/02/2007, 09:00
    Invited Talk
    The paper will review recent progress in particle identification methods. After a survey of motivations and requirements for particle identification in various experimental environments, the main emphasis will be on the development of new ring imaging Cerenkov counters. A number of new techniques has emerged recently, from upgrades of existing devices to a novel focusing radiator...

  2. 32. The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker: from construction to assembly in the ATLAS cavern
    Franck Martin (University of Pennsylvania)

    Contributed Talk
    The ATLAS experiment at LHC is now approaching the end of the construction phase. In this presentation, I will focus on the ATLAS-TRT (Transition Radiation Tracker) assembly and its installation in the ATLAS cavern, which covers the period of the last two years. After an overview of the TRT detector, I will show the various tests performed during the ”stacking” of the TRT wheels....

  3. 35. High Counting Rate Transition Radiation Detector
    Mariana Petris (IFIN-HH Bukarest)

    Contributed Talk
    A new Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) prototype with a high granularity for a high counting rate environment, required by the CBM experiment, at the future experimental facility FAIR - GSI Darmstadt, was designed and built. A solution for such a detector is a multiwire proportional chamber with a minimized drift region, reduced to a cathode - readout pad plane distance of 6 mm...

  4. 66. The LHCb RICH Detectors
    Gabriel Vidal-Sitjes (Imperial College, London)

    Contributed Talk
    The LHCb experiment has been optimized for high precision studies of CP violation and other rare decay phenomena in B-meson decays at the CERN LHC. Particle Identification (PID) in the momentum range from a few to ∼100 GeV/c is essential. Hadrons in this momentum range are identified by means of two Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors using Silica Aerogel, C4F10 and CF4 gas...

  5. 22. Experience from the construction and installation of the HMPID CsI-RICH detector in ALICE
    Abraham Antonio Gallas Torreira (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN))
    23/02/2007, 11:45
    Contributed Talk
    The construction and installation phases of the High Momentum Particle IDentification detector (HMPID) of the ALICE experiment were completed by summer 2006. The HMPID has been designed to identify charged pions and kaons in the range 1 < pt < 3 GeV/c and protons in the range 2 < pt < 5 GeV/c. The total active area of this detector is 11 m 2 and represents the largest scale...

  6. 43. The Fast Photon Detection System of COMPASS RICH-1
    Fulvio Tessarotto (INFN Triest)
    23/02/2007, 12:10
    Contributed Talk
    A fast photon detection system has been designed and built for the upgrade of COMPASS RICH-1, a large size gaseous RICH in use at the COMPASS Experiment at CERN SPS since 2001 and successfully operated in its upgraded version during the 2006 run. The aim of the upgrade was to make RICH-1 adequate for high rate operation: the photon detectors of the central region have been replaced...
