0 The AMS - 01 Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in a precursor version (AMS-01), was flown in June 1998 on a 51.6 orbit and at altitudes ranging between 320 and 390 km, on board of the space shuttle Discovery (flight STS-91). AMS-01 included an Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter (ATC) to separate p̄ from e and e from p, for momenta below 3.5 GeV/c. This paper presents a description of the ATC counter and report...

XIth Rencontres de Blois (Frontiers of Matter) proceedings. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) was flown in june 1998 on board of the space shuttle Discovery (flight STS-91) at an altitude ranging between 320 and 390 km. This preliminary version of AMS included an Aerogel Threshold ˘ Cerenkov detector (ATC) to separate ¯ p from e − background, for momenta less than 3.5 GeV/c. In this paper, ...
متن کاملExperimental study of a proximity focusing Cherenkov counter prototype for the AMS experiment
abstract: A prototype of Proximity Focussing Ring Imaging Cherenkov counter has been built and tested with several radiator materials using separately cosmic-ray particles and 12 C beam fragmentation products at several energies. Counter prototype and experimental setup are described, and the results of measurements reported and compared with simulation results. The performances are discussed i...
متن کاملThe aerogel threshold Cherenkov detector for the High Momentum Spectrometer in Hall C at Jefferson Lab
We describe a new aerogel threshold Cherenkov detector installed in the HMS spectrometer in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. The Hall C experimental program in 2003 required an improved particle identification system for better identification of π/K/p, which was achieved by installing an additional threshold Cherenkov counter. Two types of aerogel with n = 1.03 and n = 1.015 allow one to reach ∼ 10 pro...
