Abstract

A ring-imaging Äerenkov counter read out by a 100-channel PMT of active area 10 $\times$ 10 cm $^{2}$ was operated successfully in a test beam at the BNL AGS with several radiator gases, including the heavy fluorocarbon C $_{4}$ F $_{10}$ . Ring radii were measured for electrons, muons, pions and kaons over the particle momentum range from 2 to 12 GeV/ $c$ , and a best resolution of $I ¨ _{r} / r = 2.3%$ was obtained.
