The Cherenkov correlated timing detector: materials, geometry and timing constraints

Abstract

The key parameters ofČerenkov Correlated Timing (CCT) detectors are discussed. Measurements of radiator geometry, optical properties of radiator and coupling materials, and photon detector timing performance are presented.

Time-of-propagation Cherenkov counter for particle identification

“…The DIRC counter [2,3,4] verified that the Cherenkov image is well-transported by internal total reflection, and the CCT counter [6,7] exhibited that a time measurement for such Cherenkov photons is feasible. While the TOP detecter proposed here is based on a comprehensive compilation of the technical verification by those detecters, it can be used to exploit a new approach for measuring the TOP and Φ-angle correlation by making use of the horizontal focussing mirror.…”

“…It discusses the Cherenkov Correlated Timing (CCT) detector: CCT [6,7] is a kind of TOF counter with a single phototube readout for detecting early arriving photons of Cherenkov radiation. In ref.…”
