Some Examples of Cherenkov Counters Used in Electro- and Photo Nuclear Interactions at the Saclay Nuclear Physics Division

摘要

The Cherenkov effect is used in our laboratory since the first experiment realized in our laboratory, some fifteen years ago, with the Saclay 700 MeV electron linear beams (ALS). I propose to describe some typical set-up built in the ''Service de Physique Nucleaire a Haute Energie'' for experiments either developed at ALS or near other accelerators. I shall successively show the use of gas, liquid and solid Cherenkov counters. In each case I shall precise the subject of the experiment for which we need a Cherenkov detector before to describe it.
