Abstract
A ring-imaging Cherenkov detector, equipped with hybrid photon detecto rs, has been operated in a charged-particle beam. Focussed ring images from various particle types were detected using silica aerogel, air a nd C4F10 gas radiators, The detector, a prototype for the CERN LHC-B e xperiment, is described and first observations are reported, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
