Photonic crystals as novel Cherenkov radiators and their application in particle identification

Europe/Zurich
865/1-D17 (CERN)
Description
Photonic crystals have been shown to emit photons under specific angles similar to the conventional Cherenkov effect while not being limited to the usual radiation angles. This offers the possibility to distinguish particles in a much wider range of energies while requiring significantly less space than a conventional Cherenkov radiator. In this talk, the possibility to use photonic crystals as a novel Cherenkov radiator in particle identification detectors such as the LHCb RICH (Ring Imaging Cherenkov) detection system at CERN is discussed.
