| Abstract | The LHCb detector has been upgraded to manage a five-fold increase in the instantaneous luminosity delivered to the experiment during LHC Run 3 and to readout data at the full bunch crossing rate of 40 MHz. The enhanced LHCb RICH detectors now feature Multianode Photomultiplier Tubes (MaPMTs), covering a total area of approximately 4 square meters, and brand-new frontend electronics to comply with the trigger-less readout architecture. The opto-electronics chain is capable of detecting single photons at repetition rates of up to 100 MHz/cm2 while maintaining an exceptionally low noise. The RICH upgrade is comprehensively outlined, including details about the characterization and studies on the photon detection system. The stability and uniformity achieved by optimizing the parameters of the opto-electronics chain enable the RICH system to function successfully and to provide excellent charged hadron identification in high occupancy conditions. |
