  • Abstract
    We report on the final tests performed on a CsI-based RICH detector equipped with 2 C6F14 radiator trays and 4 photocathodes, each of 64×38 cm2 area. The overall performance of the detector is described, using different gas mixtures, in view of optimizing the photoelectron yield and the pad occupancy. Test results under magnetic field up to 0.9 T, photocathode homogeneity and stability are presented.
