Recent progress in Cerenkov ring imaging for the SLD experiment
Results of recent beam tests of a physics prototype Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) for the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) are presented. The system includes both liquid (C/sub 6/F/sub 14/) and gas (isobutane) radiators and an 80 cm long Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with a gaseous TMAE (Tetrakis-Dimethylamino-Ethylene) photocathode and charge division readout of proportional wires. Handling of TMAE and development of a gas delivery system are discussed. Design considerations for the construction of the TPC anode planes are presented. Measurements of the multiplicity of detected Cerenkov photons, of Cerenkov angles, and the resolution with both radiators are presented. The particle identification capability of this detector is discussed.
