The CsI-based ring imaging detector for the ALICE experiment: technical description of a large prototype
Abstract
We report on the design and construction of a CsI-RICH detector composed of four CsI photocathodes of 64×40 cm 2 each, and two C 6F 14 radiator trays of 133×41 cm 2. A detailed description of the novel elements is given and the performance of the detector is illustrated with some basic results obtained during the tests at the beam.
