PANDA Barrel DIRC designed as a Fast Focusing DIRC.

Basic approach similar to BABAR-DIRC.

Important improvements:

• Focusing optics remove size of bar from Cherenkov angle resolution term.

• Faster timing (100 ps or better) allows partial correction of chromatic effects.

• Compact multi-pixel photon detectors allow smaller expansion region.

DIRC PrincipleDIRC Principle

DIRC:

Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light

A charged particle traversing a radiator with refractive index n() with v/c> 1/n()

emits Cherenkov photons on a cone with half opening angle

If n > 2 some photons are always totally internally reflected for 1 tracks.

Radiator and light guide: Long, rectangular Synthetic Fused Silica bars.

Photons exit via focusing lens into expansion region.

Imaging on MCP-PMT array

DIRC is intrinsically a 3-D device, measuring: x, y and time

of Cherenkov photons, defining cc tpropagation of photon.

Geant Cherenkov photon tracking in event display

• More than 200 internal reflections possible before photon will exit the bar.

• To transport 90% of internally reflected photons down the bar reflectivity at the level of 0.9995 is needed.

Cherenkov photons

Particle track

Particle identification (PID) for PANDA will be performed by several specialized

detectors.

For target spectrometer:

• Barrel DIRC (3σ π/K separation for momentum range 0.5 - 3.5 GeV/c)

• Endcap Disk DIRC

• Time-of-Flight system

• dE/dx of tracking system

Momentum distribution in barrel region is an excellent match to DIRC range. Endcap Disk DIRC (5o – 22o)

Barrel DIRC(22o –140o)

Next steps:

• Expand wavelength range using a UV laser (266 nm).

• Measure prototype bars from additional vendors.

• Qualify the production and polishing processes of the different bar manufacturers.
