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.
