First observation of Cherenkov ring images using hybrid photon detectors
Abstract
A ring-imaging Cherenkov detector, equipped with hybrid photon detectors, has been operated in a charged-particle beam. Focussed ring images from various particle types were detected using silica aerogel, air and C 4F 10 gas radiators. The detector, a prototype for the CERN LHC-B experiment, is described and first observations are reported.
