Test of a Conceptual Prototype of the Total Internal Reflection Cherenkov Imaging Detector (DIRC) with Cosmic Muons∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The DIRC is a totally internally reflecting Cherenkov imaging detector proposed for particle identification at the asymmetric e+e− B factories. First test results from a conceptual prototype using cosmic muons are reported. The photo-electron yield and the single Cherenkov photon resolution at various track dip angles and positions along the radiator bar have been measured. The results are consistent with estimates and Monte-Carlo simulations.

The DIRC (Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) is a new type of ring imaging Cherenkov detector which utilizes precisely machined quartz bars as Cherenkov radiators. Bar quality is determined by both laser and cosmic ray measurements. The Cherenkov photons are transported several meters along the bar until they reach the detector cavity where they are proximity focussed on an array...
