    Hi,
    
    Does anyone of you know where I could get some details about C1
    (detailed description, tests already made, etc) ?
    I would like to simulate the respons of C1 after the passage of a
    charged particle. The scheme I have in mind is:
    
       ---------------------
       photon creation along
       particle path in gaz      (Np = C*L*(1 - 1/(beta2*n2))
       ---------------------
                |
       (here L is the effective particle path since there are some scatterings
       and absorption, C is a constant)
       need to know n (index of refraction for C4H10 at 1atm)
       need to know effective absorption length in these conditions
                |
                |
       photons are emitted in a cone of opening angle theta = acos(1/(beta*n))
                |
                |
       ---------|-----------
       reflexion of photons
       hitting the mirrors
       ---------------------
       absortion?? side effects??
                |
                |
                |
       ----------------------------
       generation of photoelectrons
       in PMT from incoming photons
       converting respons in ADC
       ---------------------------
       need to know quantum efficiency
       need to know efficiency for collecting light (hopefully high!)
                    which wave length range the PMT is sensitive to
    
    This looks rather simple but needs a very good knowledge of the physics of
    C1. It could be also a start for RICH respons simulation.
    
    A lot of help is needed.
    
    Thanks.
