We report on the final tests performed on a CsI-based RICH detector equipped with 3 C6F14 radiator trays and 4 photocathodes, each of 64 x 38 cm(2) area. The overall performance of the detector is described, using different gas mixtures, in view of optimizing the photoelectron yield and the pad occupancy. Test results under magnetic field up to 0.9 T, photocathode homogeneity and stability are presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We report on the final tests performed on a CsI-based RICH detector equipped with 3 C6F14 radiator trays and 4 photocathodes, each of 64 x 38 cm(2) area. The overall performance of the detector is described, using different gas mixtures, in view of optimizing the photoelectron yield and the pad occupancy. Test results under magnetic field up to 0.9 T, photocathode homogeneity and stability are presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
