Electron identification and hadron discrimination using Cherenkov radiation in air and SiPMs

A. Alici, F. Carnesecchi, B. R. Achari +43

This paper presents a method to identify electrons using the Cherenkov light emitted when a charged particle travels in air and photons are detected with a Silicon PhotoMultiplier…
