Production and tests of Hybrid Photon Detectors for the LHCb RICH detectors

  • 1. School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ (United Kingdom)

Description

The LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors employ 484 pixel Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPDs) as a photo-sensitive device. A total of 559 HPDs were produced over the course of two years and subjected to an exhaustive quality-assurance programme to verify that the operation meets specifications. Results of tests of the full production sample are presented and compared to expectations
