The LHCb RICH system, with the ability to provide hadron identification over a wide momentum range (2-100 GeV/c), is one of the big strengths of the LHCb experiment in the search for New Physics in decays of hadrons containing the charm and bottom quarks. Extensive maintenance took place during the Long Shutdown 1 of the LHC. A significant number of photon detectors (HPDs) were refurbished...
The High Momentum Particle IDentification (HMPID) detector installed in the ALICE experiment on the LHC at CERN consists of seven Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) modules, 1.3x1.3 m2 each, having proximity focusing geometry. The Cherenkov photon detection is achieved by means of pad segmented photocathodes coated with 300 nm thick Caesium Iodide layer and installed in multiwire proportional...
The NA62 experiment at CERN has been constructed to measure the ultra rare charged Kaon decay into a charged pion and two neutrinos with a 10% uncertainty. The main background is made by the charged kaon decay into a muon and a neutrino which is suppressed by kinematic tools using a magnetic spectrometer and by the different stopping power of muons and pions in the calorimeters. A RICH...
High precision flavor physics measurements are an essential complement to the direct searches for
new physics at the LHC. Such measurements will be performed using the upgraded Belle II detector
that will take data at the SuperKEKB accelerator. With 40x the luminosity of KEKB, the detector
systems must operate effciently at much higher rates than the original Belle detector. A central
element...
In the forward end-cap of the Belle II spectrometer, a proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov counter with an aerogel radiator will be installed. The detector will occupy a limited space inside solenoidal magnet with longitudinal field of 1.5 T. It consists of a double layer aerogel radiator, an expansion volume and a photon detector. 420 Hamamatsu hybrid avalanche photo detectors with 144...
The PANDA detector at the international accelerator Facility for Antiproton and Ion
Research in Europe (FAIR) near GSI, Darmstadt, Germany will address fundamental questions
of hadron physics.
Excellent Particle Identification (PID) over a large range of solid angles and
particle momenta will be essential to meet the objectives of the rich physics program,
which includes charmonium...
A focusing DIRC (FDIRC) detector is being developed to upgrade the particle identification capabilities in the forward region of the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab. The GlueX FDIRC will utilize four existing decommissioned BaBar DIRC bar boxes, which will be oriented to form a plane roughly 4 m from the fixed target of the experiment. A new photon camera has been designed that is based on...
A large area Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detector has been designed to provide clean
hadron identification capability in the momentum range from 3 GeV/c up to 8 GeV/c for the CLAS12 experiments at the upgraded 12 GeV continuous electron beam
accelerator facility of Jefferson Lab, to study the 3D nucleon structure in the yet poorly explored valence region by deep-inelastic scattering, and to...
