Abstract

The Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) and the Time-of-Flight (ToF) systems provide identification of charged particles for the PHENIX central arm. The RICH is located between the inner and outer tracking units and is one of the primary devices for identifying electrons among the very large number of charged pions. The ToF is used to identify hadrons and is located between the most outer pad chamber (PC3) and the electromagnetic calorimeter. A Time Zero (TO) counter that enhances charged particle measurements in p-p collisions is described. Details of the construction and performance of both the RICH, ToF and TO are given along with typical results from the first PHENIX data taking run. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
