Recent Progress in Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counters
October 19, 3:30pm - 4:30pmManoa Campus, Watanabe Hall, Rm. 112
The Department of Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: Prof. Peter Krizan, University of Ljubljana and J. Stefan Institute, to speak on "Recent Progress in Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counters." Abstract: Cherenkov counters had an important impact on the success of particle physics experiments in the last decade. The unprecedented reliability of charged particle identification with these devices has enabled studies of rare processes, including the measurement of CP violation in the system of B mesons. In the seminar we shall review the essentials of this experimental technique, and discuss recent progress and future directions in developing new detector concepts, position sensitive single photon detection devices, and radiator media. We shall also discuss a few experiments, where such a counter has played a decisive role.
