✦ Synopsis

A Disc DIRC counter is foreseen for the WASA experiment at the COSY proton storage ring in J ülich. It shall improve the proton kinetic energy measurement in the forward direction by measuring the proton speed at the two per mille level. The segmentation into four quarter-discs allows to incline the radiator relative to the incoming particles. This lowers the threshold velocity for light propagation inside the DIRC radiator. The construction of a full-scale quarter disc prototype is envisaged within a year.

A hadron blind detector (HBD) has been developed for an upgrade of the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The detector installed in 2008 was successfully operated during the p þp run of 2009 and is presently taking AuþAu data at OsNN¼200 GeV. The HBD is a windowless Cherenkov detector, operated with pure CF

The goal of the ALICE Time-of-Flight detector, based on MRPC technology, is to perform the chargedparticle identification at midrapidity, in the region |Z|o0.9. This large area ($150 m 2 ), finely segmented detector ($157,000 channels), provides fast signals which will contribute to the Level 0 and
