The high-luminosity LHC upgrades planned for 2027 will result in a significantly higher occupancy in the LHCb Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. The expected 5-fold increase in occupancy will degrade the detector's ability to perform particle identification (PID). Recent simulations have demonstrated the power of precision time-resolved photon detection in improving RICH PID performance under conditions of high detector occupancy. This project will explore new techniques using emerging sensor and electronics technologies, and evaluate their potential benefit for future detectors.

计划在2027年计划的高光度LHC升级将导致LHCB环成像Cherenkov（Rich）检测器的占用率明显更高。预期的5倍占用率将降低检测器执行颗粒识别（PID）的能力。最近的模拟表明，在高探测器占用条件下，精确时间分辨的光子检测在改善富PID性能方面具有力量。该项目将使用新兴传感器和电子技术探索新技术，并评估其对未来探测器的潜在好处。
