摘要: Abstract A prototype of the AMS Cherenkov imager has been tested at CERN with 20 and 158 GeV / c per nucleon ion obtained by fragmentation a primary beam Pb In ions, respectively. Data have collected single low-intensity settings, over range nuclear charges 2 Z ≲ 45 in various conditions using different radiators. The charge velocity β resolution measured aerogel material properties investigated.
