TORCH: a large area time-of-flight detector for particle identification
arXiv:1810.06658 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2018.10.099
Abstract
TORCH is a time-of-flight detector that is being developed for the Upgrade II of the LHCb experiment, with the aim of providing charged particle identification over the momentum range 2-10 GeV/c. A small-scale TORCH demonstrator with customised readout electronics has been operated successfully in beam tests at the CERN PS. Preliminary results indicate that a single-photon resolution better than 100 ps can be achieved.
