Study of particle spectra with an optically readout RICH detector in the NA35 experiment

J. Bächler et al.

The first identified particle spectra obtained with a proximity focusing RICH detector using an optical readout in the high particle density environment of heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies are presented. The rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of identified pions, kaons, and protons measured in the reaction S-Au at 200 GeV/nucleon are shown and compared with the predictions of two event generators (Fritiof and VENUS).
