Latest beam test results from RICH prototypes using hybrid photo detectors and multi anode PMTs
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 433:1 (1999) 159-163
Abstract:
Beam tests were performed to investigate the performance of a prototype of the downstream ring imaging counter (RICH) of the LHCb using hybrid photodiodes and multi-anode photomultipliers. The Cerenkov angle resolution obtained for the three types of photodetectors tested agreed well with the expectations from simulations. Using 61-pixel hybrid photodiodes, a single photon resolution of 0.35 mrad was attained and the particle identification capability was demonstrated.Measurement of Charm Meson Lifetimes

First observation of Cherenkov ring images using hybrid photon detectors
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 411:2-3 (1998) 249-264
Abstract:
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 described and first observations are reported, © IWS Elsevier Science B.V.
