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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...
