Cherenkov light imaging is expected to play a critical role in charged particle identification across a wide kinematic phase space in many upcoming particle and nuclear physics experiments worldwide, in particular in the filed of hadronic physics, flavor physics and for electron-positron colliders.
Extensive R&D efforts are underway on multiple fronts of Cherenkov imaging technology,...
The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) is a main scientific pillar of FAIR, the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, currently being constructed in Darmstadt, Germany. CBM will study the phase diagram of baryonic matter in regions of moderate temperature and large baryonic chemical potential, reaching net baryon densities several times larger than ordinary nuclear matter....
Among other physics goals, the PANDA experiment at the FAIR facility at GSI will perform charmonium spectroscopy and search for gluonic excitations using high luminosity antiproton beams from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c. To achieve these scientific objectives, a high performance particle identification (PID) system is required, in particular a kaon/pion separation up to 4 GeV/c. Because of space...
The dual radiator Ring Imaging Cherenkov (dRICH) detector is part of the particle identification system in the forward (ion-side) end-cap of the ePIC detector and complements the forward time-of-flight system and calorimetry.
The dRICH is required to provide continuous hadron identification from ~3 GeV/c to ~50 GeV/c, and to supplement electron and positron identification from a few...
The Electron-Proton/Ion Collider Experiment (ePIC) will be a large, multi-purpose detector to be installed at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory. As robust particle identification (PID) capabilities are essential for fully realizing the EIC science program, ePIC contains several PID subsystems spanning different angular ranges. PID capability in the...
The high-performance DIRC (hpDIRC) detector for the ePIC experiment
at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has progressed into an
advanced development stage, transitioning from simulation-driven
design to component validation and integration testing.
The baseline design, optimized through detailed and
test-beam-validated Geant4 simulations, features a novel 3-layer
spherical lens,...
The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will present unprecedented opportunities for precision flavour physics, along with new challenges for detector performance in extreme conditions. As part of the LHCb Upgrade II program, the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors are undergoing a comprehensive redesign to meet the demands of increased luminosity, higher track multiplicities, and tighter timing...
The TORCH time-of-flight detector is part of a proposed upgrade of the LHCb experiment, foreseen for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC. The TORCH detector aims to provide particle identification of hadrons in the sub-10 GeV/c momentum range, exploiting the prompt production of Cherenkov photons in an array of fused-silica plates. Photons are propagated to the periphery of the detector via...
A DIRC-like TOF (DTOF) detector is chosen for particle identification (PID) at the super tau-charm facility (STCF) in the endcap region. A total timing precision of 50 ps (DTOF intrinsic ~30 ps) is required to achieve 4σ separation of π/K up to 2 GeV/c momentum, by combining both the TOF measurement and the multi-dimensional (timing-positional) information of Cherenkov photons. In this...
The ALICE Collaboration is proposing a completely new apparatus, ALICE 3, for the LHC Run 5 and beyond. The design target of the ALICE 3 charged particle identification (PID) system is to ensure a better than 3σ e/π, π/K and K/p separation for momenta up to 2 GeV/c, 10 GeV/c and 16 GeV/c, respectively. A key PID subsystem in the barrel region (|𝜂|<2) will be a proximity-focusing Ring-Imaging...
ALADDIN is a proposed fixed-target experiment at the LHC (Letter of Intent submitted and reviewed by the LHCC; Technical Design Report in preparation) designed to measure the electromagnetic dipole moments of the $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^+$ baryons. Protons from the LHC beam halo are deflected onto a fixed solid target, producing highly boosted charm baryons. These baryons are then channeled...
