RICH detectors in heavy ion experiments
Abstract
The latest design choices and performance for the major RICH detectors employed in ultrarelativistic heavy ion experiments are reviewed in the light of their potential physics programmes. Perspectives in the planned experiment ALICE at LHC, with a RICH detector based on recent progress in highly efficient solid CsI photocathodes, are also discussed.
