The Future of RICH Detectors through the Light of the LHCb RICH
No full textThe limitations in performance of the present RICH system in the LHCb experiment are given by the natural chromatic dispersion of the gaseous Cherenkov radiator, the aberrations of the optical system and the pixel size of the photon detectors. Moreover, the overall PID performance can be affected by high detector occupancy as the pattern recognition becomes more difficult with high particle multiplicities. This paper shows a way to improve performance by systematically addressing each of the previously mentioned limitations. These ideas are applied in the present and future upgrade phases of the LHCb experiment. Although applied to specific circumstances, they are used as a paradigm on what is achievable in the development and realisation of high precision RICH detectors

Ring imaging cherenkov detectors and their application in LHCb
No full textRing Imaging Cherenkov detectors play a central role in particle identification throughtout experimental particle physics. We will in this article, by using the LHCb experiment as an example, discuss some of the requirements of the detector and how to realize them. The main emphasis will be on the interplay between complementary radiator materials, photon detectors and optical systems
Detectors: course
No full textThis lecture series on detectors, will give a general, although somewhat compressed, introduction to particle interaction with matter and magnetic fields. Tracking detectors and calorimeters will also be covered as well as particle identification systems. The lectures will start out with a short review of particle interaction with fields and then we will discuss particle detection. At the end some common composite detection systems will be described
