First observation of Cherenkov ring images using hybrid photon detectors

A ring-imaging Cherenkov detector, equipped with hybrid photon detectors, has been operated in a charged-particlc beam. Focussed ring images from various particle types were detected using silica aerogel, air and C4F10 gas radiators. The detector, a prototype for the CERN LHC-B experiment, is descri...
