An optical readout RICH detector for the NA35 heavy-ion experiment

Description

A 50x50 cm2 RICH detector prototype with optical readout has been tested during the 1992 32S run period at the CERN SPS, to provide particle identification in the momentum range 1.5-4.0 GeV/c. Construction details and results of the analysis of the CCD images are discussed, taking reconstruction algorithms and tracking predictions into account. (orig.)
