摘要
We report on the design and construction of a CsI-RICH detector composed of four CsI photocathodes of 64 x 40 cm(2) each, and two C6F14 radiator trays of 133 x 41 cm(2). A detailed description of the novel elements is given and the performance of the detector is illustrated with some basic results obtained during the tests at the beam. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
