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 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...
متن کاملA RICH prototype for the AMS experiment
The AMS spectrometer will be installed on the International Space Station at the end of 2003. Among other improvements over the first version of the instrument, a ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) will be added which latter should open a new window for cosmic-ray physics, allowing isotope separation up to A≈25 between 1 and 10 GeV/c and elements identification up to Z≈25 between threshold ...
متن کاملCherenkov detector of the AMS experiment : test beam results with a prototype
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) will be equipped with a proximity Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector for measuring the velocity and electric charge of the charged cosmic particles. This detector will contribute to the high level of redundancy required for AMS as well as to the rejection of albedo particles. Charge separation up ...
