COMPASS RICH-1

Description

RICH-1 is one of the key detectors of the COMPASS experiment at CERN. It is a large acceptance gaseous RICH, designed to perform π/κ separation up to 60 GeV/c. All RICH-1 components are built, most of them have been commissioned during year 2000 COMPASS technical run and the detector will be completed during Spring 2001. We give a description of the detector and report about various technological achievements required by this challenging project
