Description
The TORCH time-of-flight detector is part of a proposed upgrade of the LHCb detector foreseen for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC. The detector comprises an array of modules each comprising a fused-silica radiator plate of size 66 cm-by-250 cm-by-1 cm. The modules are designed to have a minimal depth and are supported using a light-weight carbon-fibre structure, designed to minimise the amount of material in the LHCb detector acceptance. A full-sized prototype module has been assembled and will be tested in a charged particle beam at the CERN PS in July this year. First results from this prototype will be presented.
