Abstract
A method is proposed for the angular alignment of RICH mirrors and for its monitoring, in particular for the COMPASS RICH-1 mirror system. Observing (by means of four cameras) apparent discontinuities in the images of continuous linear objects reflected by the mirrors surface, a relative misalignment of adjacent mirrors can be deduced and then corrected. The method can attain a sensitivity of at least 0.1 mrad, and can also be applied on-line to keep under control the stability of the mirrors during data taking.
