/ Abbon, P (DSM, DAPNIA, Saclay) ; Alekseev, M (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Angerer, H (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Apollonio, M (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Birsa, R (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Bordalo, P (Lisbon, LIFEP) ; Bradamante, F (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Bressan, A (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Busso, L (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Chiosso, M (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) et al.
The new photon detection system for COMPASS RICH-1 has been designed to cope with the demanding requests of operation at high beam intensity and at high trigger rates. The detection technique in the central region of RICH-1 has been changed with a system based on multianode photomultipliers coupled to individual fused silica lens telescopes and to a fast, almost dead time free readout system based on the MAD-4 amplifier-discriminator and the F1 TDC-chip.

Optical telescopes for COMPASS RICH1 up-grade
/ Sulc, M (Liberec Tech. U.) ; Abbon, P (DSM, DAPNIA, Saclay) ; Alekseev, M (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) ; Angerer, H (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Appolonio, M (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Birsa, R (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Bordalo, P (Lisbon, LIFEP) ; Bradamante, F (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Bressan, A (INFN, Trieste ; Trieste U.) ; Busso, L (INFN, Turin ; Turin U.) et al.
The central photon detection area of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector at COMPASS, a particle physics experiment at CERN SPS dedicated to hadron physics, has been upgraded from the previous system formed by wire chambers with CsI layers to a very fast UV extended multi anode photo multiplier tube array (MAPMT), including 576 tubes. The active area covered by the MAPMTs is 7.3 times smaller than the one previously equipped with CsI photocathodes, so 576 optical concentrators transforming the image from the old system focal plane to the new photocathode plane were needed.

COMPASS RICH-1 is a large size gaseous Imaging Cherenkov Detector providing hadron identification in the range from 3 to 55 GeV/c, in the wide acceptance spectrometer of the COMPASS Experiment at CERN SPS. It uses a 3 m long C(4)F(10) radiator, a 21 m(2) large VUV mirror surface and two kinds of photon detectors: MAPMTs and MWPCs with CsI photocathodes, covering a total of 5.5 m(2). [...]

A package for pattern recognition and PID by COMPASS RICH-1 has been developed and used for the analysis of COMPASS data collected in the years 2002 to 2004, and 2006-2007 with the upgraded RICH-1 photon detectors. It has allowed the full characterization of the detector in the starting version and in the upgraded one, as well as the PID for physics results. [...]
