A new type of Time-Of-Propagation (TOP) Cherenkov detector for particle identification

摘要：

A new type of particle identification (PID) detector based on measurements of 1-D Time-Of-Propagation (TOP) and 1-D space information is described.Geant4 toolkit is used to simulate the propagation of Cherenkov photon in thin quartz bar radiator.Contributions to the timing uncertainty are discussed.The π/K separability (So) is defined and its dependence on the particle momentum,incident angle and propagation length are studied,respectively.
