Particle identification with the fast COMPASS RICH-1 detector

Abstract

A new photon detection system for the COMPASS RICH-1 detector has been designed and installed. In the central region, the project is based on multi-anode photo-multiplier technology accompanied by charge sensitive, high resolution and dead-time free time digitization.

In the outer area, only the readout electronics for the existing photon MVPC detectors has been replaced.
