The LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters use the pixel Hybrid Photon Detector (HPD) as a photo-sensitive device. Photo-electrons are produced in a semi-transparent multi-alkali photo-cathode (S20) and are accelerated by a voltage of 20 kV onto a pixelated silicon anode. The anode is bump-bond

Pion/kaon discrimination in the LHCb experiment will be provided by two Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters. These use arrays of 484 Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPDs) to detect the Cherenkov photons emitted by charged particles traversing the RICH. The results from comprehensive quality assurance te
The LHCb experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider employs two Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors for particle identification. The first covers the charged particle momentum range 1-60 GeV/c using aerogel and C 4F10 radiators and the second covers up to 100 GeV/c using CF4. Cherenkov light w
