Abstract
A Ring Imaging Cerenkov (RICH) detector has now been successfully operated throughout a high-energy (70-200 GeV/c) photoproduction experiment at the CERN Omega Spectrometer. Recently complementary data using a hadron beam was taken with the same equipment. In each case about 20 million interactions were recorded. We discuss here features of the RICH device not yet described in previous publications and indicate by means of examples the way in which the RICH information is being used in the context of the overall experimental data analysis.Keywords
