Novel Cherenkov imaging techniques
Oral presentation
The PANDA detector at the HESR of the future FAIR facility at GSI will measure the annihilation products of antiprotons impinging on a fixed target. The combination of a compact target spectrometer with a wide angle forward spectrometer was chosen for hermetic coverage of the full solid angle. Charged particle identification over a large momentum range is performed in the target spectrometer...

Novel Cherenkov imaging techniques
Oral presentation
A detector concept is described that has been developed as a possible
solution to the identification of low momentum hadrons in the proposed
upgrade of the LHCb spectrometer. The detector consists of a DIRC-style
quartz plate placed perpendicular to the beam axis, with photon
detectors arranged around the periphery of the plate (outside the
acceptance of the spectrometer). Cherenkov...

Novel Cherenkov imaging techniques
Oral presentation
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...
