Monte-Carlo Simulation for an Aerogel Čerenkov Counter
We have developed a Monte-Carlo simulation code for an aerogel Čerenkov Counter which is operated under a strong magnetic field such as 1.5T. This code consists of two parts: photon transportation inside aerogel tiles, and one-dimensional amplification in a fine-mesh photomultiplier tube. It simulates the output photoelectron yields as accurately as 5% with only a single free parameter. This co...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Large-Area Aerogel Čerenkov Counter Onboard BESS
This paper describes the development of a threshold type aerogel Čerenkov counter with a large sensitive area of 0.6m to be carried onboard the BESS rigidity spectrometer to detect cosmic-ray antiprotons. The design incorporates a large diffusion box containing 46 finemesh photomultipliers, with special attention being paid to achieving good performance under a magnetic field and providing suff...

Using aerogel as radiator and multianode PMTs for photon detection, a proximity focusing Cherenkov ring imaging detector has been constructed and tested in the KEK π2 beam. The aim is to experimentally study the basic parameters such as resolution of the single photon Cherenkov angle and number of detected photons per ring. The resolution obtained is well approximated by estimates of contributi...
متن کاملPerformance of a C4F8O Gas Radiator Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector Using Multi-anode Photomultiplier Tubes
We report on test results of a novel ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detection system consisting of a 3 meter long gaseous C4F8O radiator, a focusing mirror, and a photon detector array based on Hamamatsu multi-anode photomultiplier tubes. This system was developed to identify charged particles in the momentum range from 3-70 GeV/c for the BTeV experiment. PACS numbers: 03.30+p, 07.85YK
متن کامل0 The AMS - 01 Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in a precursor version (AMS-01), was flown in June 1998 on a 51.6 orbit and at altitudes ranging between 320 and 390 km, on board of the space shuttle Discovery (flight STS-91). AMS-01 included an Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter (ATC) to separate p̄ from e and e from p, for momenta below 3.5 GeV/c. This paper presents a description of the ATC counter and report...
