CERN Detectors
Time of Flight (TOF)
TOF measurements yield the velocity of a charged particle by measuring the flight time over a given distance along the track trajectory
High Momentum Particle Identification Detector (HMPID)
Cherenkov radiation detector - propagates with a characteristic angle with respect to the particle track; radiator in which Cherenkov radiation is produced and a photon detector. Ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors enable a measurement of the Cherenkov angle and thus the particle velocity.
