Abstract
The particle identification system ASHIPH (Aerogel, SHIfter, PHotomultiplier) has been working in the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M collider (Budker INP, Novosibirsk), without interventions and upgrade, since 2014. The system consists of 160 aerogel Cherenkov counters containing aerogel with refractive index of 1.05. The ASHIPH system provides separation in the momentum range from 0.6 to 1.5 GeV/. The status of the system is presented. The long-term stability of aerogel counters in the KEDR experiment is studied. The use of the ASHIPH system in physics analysis is presented as well.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
