Abstract In this article, construction, operation, and performance of the RICH detector of Fermilab experiment 781 (SELEX) are described. The detector utilizes a matrix of 2848 phototubes for the photocathode to detect Cherenkov photons generated in a 10 m neon radiator. For the central region an N 0 of 104 cm −1 , corresponding to 13.6 hits on a β =1 ring, was obtained. The ring radius resolution measured is 1.6%.

Abstract First results from a new RICH detector, operating in an experiment currently taking data – Fermilab E781 (SELEX), are presented. The detector utilizes a matrix of 2848 phototubes for the photocathode. In a 650 GeV/ c π − beam the number of photons detected is 14 per ring, giving a figure of merit N0 of 106 cm −1 . The ring radius resolution obtained is 1.2%. Results showing the particle identification ability of the detector are discussed.

A Method to evaluate mirrors for Cherenkov counters

L. Stutte; J. Engelfried; J. Kilmer

Abstract A method is evaluated for measuring mirrors to be used in a Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counter. It was first used to evaluate astronomical quality mirrors, but has been found to be applicable for the lower surface quality of Cherenkov mirrors.

SELEX took data in the 1996/7 Fixed Target Run at Fermilab. The excellent performance parameters of the SELEX RICH Detector had direct influence on the quality of the obtained physics results.

The two most recent and precise measurements of the charged kaon mass use X-rays from kaonic atoms and report uncertainties of 14 ppm and 22 ppm yet dier from each other by 122 ppm. We describe the possibility of an independent mass measurement using the measurement of Cherenkov light from a narrow-band beam of kaons, pions, and protons. This technique was demonstrated using data taken opportunistically by the Main Injector Particle Production experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory which recorded beams of protons, kaons, and pions ranging in momentum from +37 GeV/c to +63 GeV/c. The measured value is 491.3 1.7 MeV/c 2 , which is within 1.4 of the world average. An improvement of two orders of magnitude in precision would make this technique useful for resolving the ambiguity in the X-ray data and may be achievable in a dedicated experiment.
