The HIRES Experiment at Cosy and First Test of a New ČERENKOV Detector
Abstract
A high resolution (HIRES) search for the lowest masses, strangeness -1 dibaryons via p + p → K++ D reaction at COSY Juelich has been proposed. A diffusely reflective silica aerogel Čerenkov counter has been build to discriminate kaons from pions. The detector has been tested with pions at momenta of 675, 780 and 850 MeV/c.
