Toru Iijima, Trieste /10/18 Motivation of PID Upgrade To cope with increasing background.  TOF may not survive  ACC seems to be OK Improve separation for K/p, and also for m/p hopefully. Extend momentum coverage in the forward endcap.  Endcap-ACC (n=1.03) functions only for flavor tagging Reduced material thickness, and more homogeneous distribution.  30% in total = 18% (ACC) + 12% (TOF)  PMTs dominate for ACC Physics Targets  B   /K  D  /DK  B   /K*  (b  d  /s  )  B  K ll, K   Full reconstruction  Less systematics for precise measurements

Time Resolution for Window Hits (cont’d) Signals are observed also in the neighboring channels. Time resolution can be improved by combing hits. Hit distribution for each ch.

Time resolution for Ring Hits Obtained time resolution for Cherenkov photons from aerogel agrees well with the value from the bench tests. Resolution for the full ring (N pe ~10) would be about 20ps.

Remarks TOF supplement the RICH  Very good  /K separation in the low mom. region, also good K/p.  positive ID of kaons, below the K threshold.  Redundant and robust PID system against background. In case of the MCP-PMT option, TOF should be used, taking full advantage of the sensor resolution.  It helpd to recover the performance loss due to ~60% collection efficiency. It is also interesting to see the resolution with HAPD or G-APD options. For the “Window hit”, we need precise time recording only for each sensor unit, not for each pixel (high threshold for analog sum).

Summary We are developing a proximity focusing RICH with aerogel radiator to upgrade the forward endcap PID of the Belle detector. The idea of using multiple aerogel layers with varying refractive index enables us to increase Npe without deteriorating the angle resolution.   K/  separation close to 5 4 GeV/c  Design optimization based on the focusing config. being finalized. The detector can be used also as a TOF counter.  Beam tests w/ BURLE MCP-PMT demonstrate  TOF ~30ps for “window hits”.  Extend PID capability into the low momentum region.  More robust PID system can be constructed. Gear up to the construction! The major remaining issue is the photosensor. Stay tuned !
