Fast, low-pressure UV-photon detectors for Cherenkov ring imaging

Description

Photosensitive multistep avalanche detectors, operating at low gas pressures (40-100 Torr) can efficiently localize UV-photons. The application to Cherenkov ring imaging is discussed and some electronic and optical readout schemes are described. Fast UV-detectors, operating with CH4 and 'hot' TMAE are good candidates for RICH devices in experiments at future colliders. We report on some preliminary results of this operating mode and discuss possible UV-detector schemes. (author)
