Description Call
| TORCH: A large-area detector for precision time-of-flight measurements The TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov light) detector provides a time-of-flight measurement from the imaging of photons emitted in a 1 cm thick quartz radiator, based on the Cherenkov principle. This novel detector system has the potential to revolutionize particle identification in the difficult intermediate momentum region, up to 20 GeV/c. |
