Results of mini-CBM mRICH simulations* — •Gregor Pitsch for the CBM collaboration — Justus Liebig Universität Gießen

The Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (CBM) will be built at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt and aims the exploration of the QCD phase diagram using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. For testing the interplay of the subsystems of CBM, the data acquisition and the fast online event reconstruction, a full test setup comprising all prototypes or pre-series components is proposed, named *mini-CBM*. Mini-CBM will analyze the particle production of 1.24GeV Au + Au collisions provided by the SIS18 accelerator. One of the CBM subsystems is the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector (RICH), will be used for high quality electron identification for p<8GeV/c. In this contribution we present simulation results of an mRICH detector in the mCBM setup which will work as proximity focusing RICH detector using aerogel as radiator serving for pion-proton separation. This radiator type has been chosen due to space constraints, but also to improve particle identification in mCBM. * supported by BMBF(05P15RGFCA)
