The Fabry-Perot interferometer for the DELPHI ring imaging cherenkov detector

Fabry - Perot Interferometer

This short lecture note recalls some of the properties of Fabry-Perot interferome-ters. As an addition to textbooks , it may present some help to students working with such instruments.

Fabry - Perot Interferometer Prototype

A new Fabry-Perot Interferometer has been developed for the ADAHELI ADvanced Astronomy for HELIophysics solar satellite mission at the “Tor Vergata” University Solar Physics Laboratory. Fabry-Perot narrow filters are of great interest for the study of extended astronomical sources, such as the solar photosphere and chromosphere. The prototype instrument provides a high throughput that allows fo...

LHC-B Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector

The current progress of the ALICE Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector

Recently, the last two modules (out of seven) of the ALICE High Momentum Particle Identification detector (HMPID) were assembled and tested. The full detector, after a precommissioning phase, has been installed in the experimental area, inside the ALICE solenoid, at the end of September 2006. In this paper we review the status of the ALICE/HMPID project and we present a summary of the series pr...

The Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector ( RICH ) of the AMS experiment

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) will be equipped with a proximity focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector for measuring the electric charge and velocity of the charged cosmic particles. A RICH prototype consisting of 96 photomultiplier units, including a piece of the conical reflector, was built and its performanc...
