摘要：
A prototype of Proximity Focussing Ring Imaging Cherenkov counter has been built and tested with several radiator materials and configurations, including a dual radiator configuration, using separately cosmic-ray particles and C-12 beam fragmentation products at several energies. Counter prototype and experimental setup are described, and the results of measurements are reported and compared with simulation results. The performances are discussed in the perspective of the final counter design. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
