5 Physics with Hadron Identification
Require /K separation for GeV/c Two independent detectors “RICH1” : Aerogel and C4F10 “RICH2” : CF4 Chris Jones : LHC2003 : 03/05/2003 : 5/19

6 RICH System RICH1 RICH2 Different radiator media Spherical Mirrors

RICH alone has too high background rates Combining lepton ID with RICH information can also improve lepton identification performance Electron Efficiency Pion Mis-ID RICH Electron ID Momentum / GeV/c Chris Jones : LHC2003 : 03/05/2003 : 17/19
