Photon detection for Cherenkov counters

Oral presentation

The PANDA experiment at the FAIR facility at GSI in Darmstadt will use the DIRC technique to separate charged pions and kaons. Two devices are planned: a barrel DIRC and a forward disc DIRC detector covering together a polar angle range from 5 to 140 degrees. Since the PANDA detector was chosen to be very compact the image plane of both DIRCs is located inside the solenoid magnetic field of up...

Photon detection for Cherenkov counters

Oral presentation

Microchannel plate photomultiplier tubes (MCP-PMTs) are compact, imaging detectors, capable of micron-level spatial imaging and timing measurements with resolutions below 10 picoseconds. Conventional fabrication methods are too expensive for MCP-PMTs in the quantities and sizes necessary for large, time-of-flight ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors (TOF-RICH) and other fast-timing large-area...
