Description
The Belle II detector operating at the future upgrade to the KEKB
accelerator will perform high-statistics precision investigations into
the flavor sector of the Standard Model. As charged hadron
identification is a vital element of the experiment's success, the
time-of-propagation (TOP) counter has been chosen as the primary
particle identification device in the barrel region of Belle II. The TOP
counter is a compact variant of the DIRC technique and relies heavily
on exquisite single photon timing resolution with micro-channel plate
photomultiplier tubes. We discuss the general principles of TOP operation
and optimization of the Belle II TOP configuration, which is expected to
provide 4 sigma or better separation of kaons and pions up to momenta of
approximately 4 GeV/c.
