Experimental 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 کاملParticle identification with the AMS-02 RICH detector: search for dark matter with antideuterons
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), whose final version AMS-02 is to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years, is a detector designed to measure charged cosmic ray spectra with energies up to the TeV region and with high energy photon detection capability up to a few hundred GeV, using state-of-the art particle identification techniques. It is equipped with ...

The effects of causal attributions on stereotype was examined in an experiment. Preliminary study showed that student studying in public universities have negative attitude towards IQ of Azad University students as compared with public university students. This stereotype was used as a means to determine the ingroup favoritism condition. In the main experiment, 80 Mohaggeg Ardabili university s...

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 کاملA prototype for the AMS-RICH experiment
The AMS spectrometer will be installed on the International Space Station in 2005. Among other improvements over the first version of the instrument, a ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) will be added and should open a new window for cosmicray physics, allowing isotope separation up to A≈25 between 1 and 10 GeV/c and element identification up to Z≈25 between threshold and 1 TeV/c/nucleon. I...
