Description
We will discuss principles of Cherenkov ring imaging using DIRC- like and Aerogel RICH detectors and compare them to TOF and dE/dx PID techniques. <br<We will discuss various imaging concepts, including a pin hole and a focusing method.
We discuss details of a photon propagation in the refractive media, such as quartz, including a calculation of the time-of-propagation (TOP) and its spread due to chromaticity.
We then discuss expected No, and expected Cherenkov ring resolution and a final PID capability.
