Advantages and Limitations of the RICH Technique for Particle Identification
- 1. Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, CA (United States)
Description
The ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) technique for hadronic particle identification (PID) is described. The advantages and limitations of RICH PID counters are compared with those of other classic PID techniques, such as threshold Cherenkov counters, ionization loss (dE/dx) in tracking devices, and time of flight (TOF) detectors.
