The ring imaging Cherenkov detector for the BRAHMS experiment at RHIC
- 1. Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, NY (United States)
Description
A ring imaging Cherenkov counter, to be read out by four 100-channel PMTs, is a key element of the BRAHMS experiment. We report here the most recent results obtained with a prototype tested at the BNL AGS using several radiator gases, including the heavy fluorocarbon C4F10. Ring radii were measured for different particles (π-, μ-, e-) for momenta ranging from 2 to 12 GeV/c employing pure C4F10 as radiator. (orig.)
