Abstract
The Jetset internal target experiment at LEAR is devoted to the study of hadronic resonances in the channel ppBAR --> psipsi within the inva riant mass range 2.0-2.4 GeV/c2. Without a magnet for momentum analysi s, the kinematic reconstruction of the final state has relied upon tra ck directions and dE/dx. In 1999 a compact RICH detector based upon a quartz radiator and a unique cellular MWPC operated with TMAE was inst alled in the forward region of the experiment. Data with the RICH in o peration were taken during the two Jetset running periods that year, w ith performance in agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. Initial res ults from the analysis of this data are presented.
