| Abstract: |
A powerful particle identification capability is required for the LHCb physics programme. Two RICH detectors provide π/K separation between 1–100 GeV/c, using three radiators. Low–momentum particles, up to 10 GeV/c, are identified by Cherenkov light produced in silica aerogel. R&D results on the aerogel from test–beam and laboratory studies are presented.
