A large area imaging Cherenkov detector is under construction to provide hadron identification in the momentum range between 3 and 8. GeV/c for the CLAS12 exeperiment at the new 12. GeV electron beam of the Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). The detector adopts a hybrid optics solution with aerogel radiator, light planar and spherical mirrors and highly-segmented photon detectors. Cherenkov photons will be imaged either directly (for forward tracks) or after two mirror reflections (large angle tracks). The status of the detector construction is here reported.

Abstract

A large area imaging Cherenkov detector is under construction to provide hadron identification in the momentum range between 3 and 8. GeV/c for the CLAS12 exeperiment at the new 12. GeV electron beam of the Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). The detector adopts a hybrid optics solution with aerogel radiator, light planar and spherical mirrors and highly-segmented photon detectors. Cherenkov photons will be imaged either directly (for forward tracks) or after two mirror reflections (large angle tracks). The status of the detector construction is here reported.
