Gas Threshold (Original Design)

• From ~1 or ~0 to 10 degrees
• No K/proton separation
• Separation between Pions & Kaons as a function of momentum.
  • Theta dependence is present but not shown (not super large).

RICH (Yi)

• From ~1 or ~0 to 20 degrees
• K/proton separation not shown but is included in the study.
• Separation between Pions & Kaons as a function of momentum.
  • Theta dependence is present but not shown (not super large).

LHCb RICH

• BIG IMPORTANT NOTE: These studies were performed with the parameters of the LHCb RICH AS IS (at a ~$4 million cost)
• From 0 to 20 degrees
• 99.3% K/Pi separation from 0.6 to 2.6 GeV/c
• Perfect K/Pi separation above 2.6 GeV/c
• 99.3% K/proton separation from 2.0 to 10.0 GeV/c
• Perfect K/proton separation above 10.0 GeV/c

Studies
