Abstract
A 4-layer design of aerogel threshold counters using two refractive in dices was suggested for the particle identification in the forward reg ion of the BaBar detector. Three prototypes filled with the high quali ty aerogel produced in Novosibirsk were tested at T10 beam at CERN. Mo nte Carlo code was developed for the simulation of the light collectio n in aerogel counters. Monte Carlo results based on measured PTFE refl ection coefficient and aerogel absorption and scattering lengths are i n agreement with experiment. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
