Abstract
We describe a new particle-identification technique based on precision timing measurements to determine the Cherenkov angle of photons emitt ed by particles passing through a quartz radiator. A Monte Carlo simul ation indicates that good pi-K separation can be obtained for a large range of particle momenta and incident angles. A prototype detector to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept is under construction.
