BELLE AEROGEL CHERENKOV COUNTER – A DETECTOR FOR PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
Particle identification, in particular the identification of charged pions and kaons, plays an important role for studies CP violation B Factory experiments. For BELLE detector at KEK B-Factory Japan, a threshold aerogel Cherenkov counter (ACC) has been used to separate kaons momentum range between 1.0 GeV/c 3.5 GeV/c. This paper gives brief description ACC design, construction, monitoring system its performance beam test Monte-Carlo simulation.

Time-of-Propagation Cherenkov counter for particle identification
We describe here a new concept of a Cherenkov detector for particle identification by means of measuring the Time-of-Propagation (TOP) of Cherenkov photons.
متن کاملThe aerogel threshold Cherenkov detector for the High Momentum Spectrometer in Hall C at Jefferson Lab
We describe a new aerogel threshold Cherenkov detector installed in the HMS spectrometer in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. The Hall C experimental program in 2003 required an improved particle identification system for better identification of π/K/p, which was achieved by installing an additional threshold Cherenkov counter. Two types of aerogel with n = 1.03 and n = 1.015 allow one to reach ∼ 10 pro...

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...

Modification of large water Cherenkov detectors by addition of gadolinium has been proposed. The large cross section for neutron capture on Gd will greatly improve the sensitivity to antielectron neutrinos from supernovae and reactors. A five-year project to build and develop a prototype detector based on Super-Kamiokande (SK) has started. We are performing various studies, including a material...
متن کاملThe Belle Silicon Vertex Detector
The silicon vertex detector of the Belle experiment has been built to provide the vertex information of B meson decays at the KEKB accelerator. It consists of three cylindrical layers of double sided, double metal silicon sensors read out by VA1 chips. The analog signals are transmitted to a system of fast analog-to-digital converters and are reduced on a system based on Motorola Digital Signal...
