Title: A gaseous RICH detector for SiD or ILD

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

This paper describes a preliminary study of a gaseous Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system capable of discriminating between kaons and pions at high momenta — up to 50 GeV/c — and thus enhancing particle identification at future colliders. The system possesses a compact design, facilitating easy integration into existing detector concepts. Here, a study of the key contributions to the Cherenkov angle resolution is also presented.
