4 An important experimental direction of the study in physics of heavy ion collisions is the measurement of the yield of high-Pt particles. The main problem is to study the dominant mechanism of parton energy loss in compressed nuclear matter. Data by RHIC STAR and PHENIX Collaboration show the effect of supression of high-Pt hadrons up to a momentum 10 GeV/c (!)

5 FARICH conception Charged particle Aerogel n 1 n 2 Photon detector The main goal of the FARICH concept is - to increase the number of photons by using thicker radiator; - to focus Cherenkov cones on the detector sensitive plane without degrading the angle resolution. The FARICH proximity focusing type geometry was proposed. - the use of several layers of aerogel with gradually increasing refractive indices, n3 > n2 > n1 allows to focus Cherenkov cones of the same radius; - refractive indices are determined by different proximity gaps.

6 Simulation of a multi-layer aerogel radiator for FARICH-detector Results of the simulation for momentum 10 GeV/c where: r is the average radius of the Cherenkov ring; σr, 1 pe is the mean deviation of the Cherenkov radius (for single photon). S is the ring area; Npe is the number of detected photoelectrons; σӨ is Cherenkov angle resolution in mrad; π/K sep is the pion/kaon separation power in number of standard deviations for momentum 10 GeV/c.

10 MRS APD performances (CPTA, Moscow) Measurements of MRS APD performances were carried out by Yu.Musienko on test benches at CERN APD Lab and D.Finogeev and Yu.Kupchinskiy at INR, Moscow As example the dependence of the photon detection efficiency PDE on a light wavelength for MRS APDs of different types is shown. We plan to use 50V-APD for our FARICH Prototype March 3, 2009 Применение MRS APDs в прототипе FARICH-детектора для идентификации релятивистских частиц в эксперименте ALICE Yuri Kupchinskiy Совещание по применению лавинных диодов, ИЯИ РАН, Москва, Питомник (slide 10)

11 MRS APD performances (CPTA, Moscow) For tests, the entrance windows of a few APDs was covered by a special wave length shifter film (paint) developed by Photonique SA (Geneva). Dependences of the PDE on a light wavelength for MRS 50V-APDs and the 50V-APDs + WLS-paint are shown. As result the WLS-film increases the PDE of about two times at 450 nm and about ten times in the range nm.
