Aerogel as Cherenkov radiator for RICH detectors

2003

Abstract We present here the results obtained using silica aerogel as Cherenkov radiator for the separation and identification of particles in the momentum range from 6 to 10 GeV /c . Photoelectron yield and Cherenkov ring resolution were studied under different experimental conditions and compared to the simulation.
