Performance of the ring imaging Cherenkov detector of DELPHI

Αγγλικά

The general purpose particle detector DELPHI at the Large Electron
Positron collider at CERN was built to give the complete information of
each event. DELPHI uses ring imaging Cherenkov counters to provide
hadron identification in most of the momentum range below 45 GeV/c and
over almost the full solid angle. Charged particles traversing gaseous
and liquid fluorocarbon radiators create photons used for Cherenkov
angle reconstruction. Some of the design features of the detector will
be presented, with emphasis on the experience which was gained in the
operation of these large systems. The hadron identification power of the
ring imaging Cherenkov detector closely meets the main design values.
Data processing and performance of the detector will be discussed using
dimuon events collected during 1994. Pion rejection factors for kaon
tagging will be shown.
