Component and System Tests of the SLD Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The components of the SLD barre1 Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (GRID) are now built and are being installed. We report on tests of these, including tests of the fiber optic calibration system, detailed studies of electron drift paths on production drift boxes and detectors, tests of the dynamic gating system and its effect on drift path distortions due to space-charge, and a measurement of the electron lifetime in a production drift box. In addition, we report on the UV transmission of recirculated liquid C6F14 and on the effects of CRID construction materials on electron lifetime. Liquid Radiator/

CERENKOV RING IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY OF CHARGED KSTAR INTERACTIONS AT 11 GeV/c
A thesis in two independent halves. A scientific proof-of-principle prototype was constructed and tested in Part I: order to evaluate the performance capabilities of a ring imaging Cerenkov detector. The detector measures the velocity of relativistic particles, and is the first Cerenkov counter to take advantage of the most fundamental properties inherent to Cerenkov radiation. Single photons f...

Wilson has designed and built particle identification systems in experiments such as the SLD experiment Cerenkov Ring Imaging Device (CRID); BaBar Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC). He has been the coordinator of the Particle ID subgroup of the American Linear Collider Physics Group, contributed to the Snowmass Resource Book, and has given numerous presentations on hadron ...
متن کاملMonitor and Control Systems for the Sld Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector*
To help ensure the stable long-term operation of a Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector at high efficiency, a comprehensive monitor and control system is being developed. This system will continuously monitor and maintain the correct operating temperatures, and will provide an on-line monitor of the pressures, flows, mixing, and purity of the various fluids. In addition the velocities and trajectori...
متن کاملFirst Results from the BELLE DIRC Prototype
The DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cerenkov light) is a new type of ring imaging Cerenkov detector, which detects images from Cerenkov light produced in precisely machined quartz bars. The Cerenkov images are transported along several meters of bar to the edge of the detector where they are proximity focussed unto an array of conventional photomultiplier tubes. Results from a prototype...
