In-beam tests of a ring imaging Čerenkov detector with a multianode photomultiplier readout
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ring-imaging Čerenkov counter read out by a 100-channel PMT of active area 10×10 cm was operated successfully in a test beam at the BNL AGS with several radiator gases, including the heavy fluorocarbon C4F10 . Ring radii were measured for electrons, muons, pions and kaons over the particle momentum range from 2 to 12 GeV/c, and a best resolution of σr/r = 2.3% was obtained.

Using aerogel as radiator and multianode PMTs for photon detection, a proximity focusing Cherenkov ring imaging detector has been constructed and tested in the KEK π2 beam. The aim is to experimentally study the basic parameters such as resolution of the single photon Cherenkov angle and number of detected photons per ring. The resolution obtained is well approximated by estimates of contributi...
متن کاملTheBRAHMSRing Imaging Čerenkov Detector
A Ring Imaging Čerenkov detector built for the BRAHMS experiment at the Brookhaven RHIC is described. This detector has a high index of refraction gas radiator. Čerenkov light is focused on a photo-multiplier based photon detector with a large spherical mirror. The combination of momentum and ring radius measurement provides particle identification from 2.5 GeV/c up to 35 GeV/c for pions and ka...

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...
متن کاملCharacterization of a multianode photomultiplier tube for use with scintillating fibers to detect gamma rays
The performance of a multianode photomultiplier tube (MAPMT) with 64 anodes coupled to scintillating fibers has been examined. Such a detector system can be used in a pairproduction gamma-ray telescope as well as in other applications. The characteristics of these tubes (Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64) are presented including single photoelectron sensitivity, electrical and optical cross-talk, and dark...
