The Panda Barrel Time-of-Flight Detector

Sebastian Zimmermann (Stefan Meyer Institute Vienna)

8/1/18, 11:50 AM

Alternative PID techniques

oral presentation [20+5 min]

The barrel-Time-of-Flight detector is one of the outer layers of the multi-layer design of the PANDA target spectrometer, covering an angle of 22 $< \theta_{lab} <$ 150. PANDA, which is being built at the FAIR facility, will use cooled antiprotons on a fixed Hydrogen or nuclei target, to study broad topics in hadron physics.

The detector is a scintillating tile hodoscope with an SiPM...

Particle detection efficiency of the KEDR detector ASHIPH system

Ivan Ovtin (BINP)

Alternative PID techniques

oral presentation [20+5 min]

The particle identification system ASHIPH (Aerogel SHifter PHotomultiplier) has been working in the KEDR experiment at VEPP-4M collider since 2014. The system consists of 160 counters arranged in two layer and covers the 96% of the solid angle. Two layer system permits to use different approaches for pi/K-separation. Three such approaches are described. The status of the system is presented....

Development of the TORCH time-of-flight detector

Neville Harnew (University of Oxford)

8/3/18, 9:00 AM

Alternative PID techniques

oral presentation [20+5 min]

The TORCH time-of-flight detector, designed to provide particle identification over the momentum range 2–10 GeV/c over large areas, is under development. The detector exploits prompt Cherenkov light produced by charge particles traversing a 10 mm thick quartz plate. The photons propagate via total-internal reflection and are focussed onto a detector plane comprising position-sensitive...

Ten years of operation of the MRPC TOF detector of ALICE: results and perspectives

Roberto Preghenella (INFN, Bologna)

8/3/18, 9:25 AM

Alternative PID techniques

oral presentation [20+5 min]

The ALICE Time Of Flight (TOF) detector is based on 1638 Multigap strip RPCs, for a total active area of 140 m$^2$ and more than 150000 readout channels. After ten years of operations the detector performance remains excellent, with no observable degradation in stability of operation nor in efficiency of particle detection. A new calibration has brought to a significant improvement in the time...

Development a picosecond MCP based particle detector

Mikhail Barnyakov

8/3/18, 9:50 AM

Alternative PID techniques

oral presentation [20+5 min]

Measurement of a particle detection time with accuracy better $30~ps$ could help to separate particles from different vertexes in future experiments at hadron colliders with high Luminosity (for instance at LHC Phase III L~10$^{35}cm^{–2}·s^{–1}$). From other hand measurement of Time-of-Flight with such accuracy could sufficiently improve power of particle identification technique in various...
