Abstract An 18 module Cerenkov detector with a total sensitive area of 2.3 m /sup 2/ having silica aerogel as radiator is being tested in a particle beam at CERN PS. The modules having a sensitive area of 23*55 cm/sup 2/ give typically a Cerenkov signal for beta =1 particles of 12 photoelectrons for silica aerogel of refractive index 1.03 and a thickness of 15 cm.
