Novel Cherenkov photon detectors
Gaseous detectors using multiple gas electron multiplier (GEM) electrodes permit to attain large amplification factors with a strong suppression of photon and ion-mediated feedback. With the first GEM in a cascade coated with a photosensitive layer, they provide efficient and fast single photon detection, with excellent position resolution. General performances of CsI-coated multi-GEM detectors...
متن کاملCapturing wide field of view light fields using spherical mirrors
This project idea is motivated from the image based lighting technique presented in the class, where a single spherical mirror is used as a light probe for image based lighting. The project used an array of spherical mirrors arranged in a fixed pattern to capture the light field of the surrounding. The main steps in the project involved construction of a spherical mirror array of a fixed patter...
متن کاملThe Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detectors for LHCb
The success of the LHCb experiment depends heavily on particle identification over the momentum range 2−100 GeV/c. To meet this challenge, LHCb uses a Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system composed of two detectors with three radiators. RICH1 has both aerogel and gas (C4F10) radiators, while RICH2 has only a gas (CF4) radiator. The design of RICH1 is almost complete, whereas RICH2 has been const...
متن کاملNew Generation Atmospheric Cherenkov Detectors
High energy γ-ray astronomy has been established during the last decade through the launch of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) and the success of its ground-based counterpart, the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. In the aftermath of their important and surprising scientific results a worldwide effort developing and designing new generation atmospheric Cherenkov detectors is unde...
متن کاملLarge Natural Cherenkov Detectors : Water and Ice
In this review we rst address 2 questions: why do we need kilometer-scale muon and neutrino detectors? what do we learn from the operating Baikal and AMANDA detectors about the construction of kilometer-scale detectors? I will subsequently discuss the challenges for building the next-generation detectors. The main message is that these are diierent, in fact less ominous, than for commissioning ...
