Abstract

A method of testing of threshold SiO₂ aerogel Cherenkov detectors using cosmic radiation is described. The method requires a minimum amount of additional electronics and does not involve massive absorber layers (e.g., lead). The method makes it possible to directly take into account the threshold in determining the efficiency of the detectors under study and to test their operation in different energy ranges for relativistic charged particles. Good agreement between the results of the simulation and measurements was obtained.

利用宇宙射线测试阈值二氧化硅气凝胶切伦科夫探测器：模拟与测量

摘要描述了一种利用宇宙辐射测试阈值二氧化硅气凝胶切伦科夫探测器的方法。该方法只需最少的额外电子设备，不涉及大量吸收层（如铅）。该方法可以直接考虑阈值来确定所研究探测器的效率，并测试它们在不同能量范围内对相对论带电粒子的工作情况。模拟结果与测量结果之间取得了良好的一致。
