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

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
The LHCb experiment at LHC, optimised for the study of CP violation, has two RICH detectors to provide particle identification in the momentum range $2-100 GeV=c. The stringent requirements on the photon detectors are met by the custom-made pixel Hybrid Photon Detector. The photon detectors need to
