30. Particle Identification for the PANDA Detector

Dr Carsten Schwarz (GSI)

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...

56. Detector concept combining Cherenkov and TOF information

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...

65. The time-of-propagation counter for Belle II

M. Kurtis Nishimura (University of Hawaii)

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...
