The ring imaging Cherenkov detector for Fermilab experiment 665

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7145693
The authors describe a ring imaging Cherenkov counter (RICH) which uses a multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) with cathode pad readout as a UV photon detector. The detector has 10800 pads, each connected to a charge sensitive amplifier, within an area of 55 x 95 cm/sup 2/. The detector offers high data rate capability and a chamber sensitive time of less than 250 nsec. In addition, the detector has 1 mm spatial resolution and a multi-hit capability of about 50 photons/event.
