| Description | The Cherenkov detector designed and built for the LEAP (Low Energy AntiProton) experiment utilized a novel design to achieve appreciable sensitive area (02. sq m) with a refractive index of 1.25 in a magnetic fringe field region (500-1000 Gauss). The weight was held to only 64 kg by using 16 unshielded Hamamatsu R2490-01 photomultiplier tubes, each aligned with its local magnetic field. A filling and reservoir system for the highly volatile FC-72 liquid Cherenkov radiator also presented many design challenges. Relativistic particles yielded about 72 photoelectrons, total. |
