Cherenkov threshold detectors (XCET) are used for identifying particles in the experimental areas at CERN. These observe light emitted by charged travelling inside a pressurized gas vessel. A key component of XCET detector is 45-degree flat mirror reflecting towards photomultiplier (PMT). thorough analysis and optimization was conducted on design materials this mirror, along with surface coatings coating techniques. suitable manufacturing process selected, first prototype produced,...
The performance of the Cherenkov threshold detectors (XCET) used in secondary beam areas (SBA) at CERN is limited by their built-in optics. This study showcases an improved design using compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) to reduce size and cost optics while optimizing light collection efficiency. detector was simulated with Geant4 over its full experimental range terms pressure, momentum, particle type. efficiency current found be geometry mirror. optimized CPC designs resulted a...
