A particle identification detector for the forward region of the SuperB experiment

The DIRC-like time-of-flight detector (FTOF) is a ring imaging Cherenkov counter designed to improve the charged particle identification on the forward side of SuperB. Here we review the main characteristics of this device, summarize the results of a prototype test done last year in the SLAC Cosmic Ray Telescope and present the future steps needed to build the FTOF.

Front-end electronics for the SuperB charged particle identification detectors

An overview of the electronics chains for the two charged particle identification (PID) detectors of the SuperB experiment is presented. The PID group is designing different detectors for the barrel (FDIRC) and forward (FTOF) regions. Both are based on time measurements, respectively in the 100 ps and 10 ps rms resolution domains.
