Abstract
A study prototype of a Proximity Focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector ( PFRICH) has been developed and built at the ISN Grenoble. The detector has been tested with cosmic-ray particles, C-12 beams and fragmentation ions at different energies at GSI-Darmstadt. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri ghts reserved.
