Results of recent beam tests of a physics prototype Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) for the SLD are reported. The system includes both liquid (CsFr4) and gas (isobutane) radiators and an 80 cm quartz TPC with a gaseous TMAE phct tocathode and proportional wire readout.Measurements of the quality factor (No) and Cerenkov angles of both radiators at various TMAE concentrations and beam momenta are presented. Other system characteristics, including electron lifetimes, spatial resolution, Yphoton feedback" and preliminary results from third coordinate charge division readout are dizcussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
