A gaseous RICH detector for SiD or ILD

Abstract

This paper describes a preliminary study of a gaseous Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system capable of discriminating between kaons and pions at high momenta -- up to 50 GeV/c -- and thus enhancing particle identification at future colliders. The system possesses a compact design, facilitating easy integration into existing detector concepts. A study of the key contributions to the Cherenkov angle resolution is also presented.
