Description
Cherenkov detector is a key element of particle identification system in the VES fixed target experiment at IHEP(Protvino). It consists of a 1.6 m R-22 gas radiator and a system of 28 spherical mirrors with photomultipliers(PMT) as a photon detector.
We present in this talk description of detector design, its model, particle identification algorithm, and discuss procedures of obtaining calibration constants. Detector performance in terms of identification efficiency and purity is demonstrated with the Monte-Carlo and experimental data analyses.
