The Dirc Counter: a New Type of Particle Identification Device for B Factories*
A very thin, solid radiator, totally internally reflecting, imaging Cherenkov counter (DIRC) is described. This device is well matched to the hadronic charged particle identification requirements at an asymmetric e+eB Factory.

In this paper we present an experimental perspective on the tau-charm factory and an overview of the particle physics which will be studied and explored at the tau-charm factory. The tau-charm factory (Kirkby 1987, Kirkby 1989) is a high luminosity, two-ring, electron-positron collider and detector with the following properties: 0 Range of total energy = 3.0 to 5.0 GeV 0 Design luminosity = 103...
متن کاملDIRC for a Higher Luminosity B Factory
The Dirc, a novel type of Cherenkov ring imaging device, is the primary hadronic particle identification system for the BABAR detector at the asymmetric B-factory Pep-II at SLAC. It is based on total internal reflection and uses long, rectangular bars made from synthetic fused silica as Cherenkov radiators and light guides. BABAR began taking data with colliding beams in late spring 1999. This ...
متن کاملProduction of a New Generation of Silica Aerogel and its Application for the KEK B-factory Experiment
Low-refractive index silica aerogel is the most convenient radiator for threshold-type Cherenkov counters, which is used for particle identification in high-energy physics experiments. For the BELLE detector at the KEK B-Factory, we have produced about 2 m of hydrophobic silica aerogels of n = 1.01 1.03 using a new production method. The particle identification capability of the aerogel Cherenk...
متن کاملParticle Detector R&d
Recent results on the particle detector R&D for new accelerators are reviewed. Different approaches for the muon systems, hadronic and electromagnetic calorimeters, particle identification devices, and central trackers are discussed. Main emphasis is made on the detectors for the International Linear Collider and Super B-factory. A detailed description of a novel photodetector, a so called Sili...
