Test Result of Time-Of-Propagation Cherenkov Counter

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel Cherenkov detector concept that measures both the Time-of-Propagation and emission angle of Cherenkov photons for improved particle identification, supported by initial R&D results.

Contribution

It presents a new detector approach combining TOP and emission angle measurements, with initial R&D demonstrating feasibility.

Findings

Successful demonstration of the combined TOP and angle measurement concept.

Initial R&D results support the detector's potential for particle identification.

The new detector concept shows promise for future experimental applications.

Abstract

A new concept concerning Cherenkov detector for particle identification by means of measuring both the Time-of-Propagation (TOP) and horizontal emission angle ($\Phi$) of Cherenkov photons is described here. Some R&D works are also reported.
