Design and construction of the fast photon detection system for COMPASS RICH-1

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
2010

Abstract

New photon detectors, based on the use of multi-anode photo-multiplier tubes coupled to individual lens telescopes and read out with a dedicated read-out electronics system, equip the central region of the Cherenkov imaging counter RICH-1 of the COMPASS experiment at CERN SPS. The design and construction of the photon detectors are described in detail.
