Progress report on the SLD cerenkov ring imaging detector
We describe test beam results from a prototype cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) for the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). The system includes both liquid and gas radiators, a long drift box containing gaseous TMAE and a proportional wire chamber with charge division readout. Measurements of the multiplicity and detection resolution of cerenkov photons, from both radiators are presented. Various design aspects of a new engineering prototype, currently under construction, are discussed and recent R&D results relevant to this effort are reported.
Overview of the SLD
The SLD is a second generation detector for the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). It is optimized for Z° physics and exploration of new physics in the Z° energy region. The SLD will have a CCD vertex detector, high resolution drift chambers for momentum measurement, a ¿erenkov Ring Imaging Detector for particle identification, and calorimetry based on lead/liquid argon followed by an iron/gas system. The detector covers the full solid angle.
