Abstract

For precise measurements of the velocity of highly relativistic particles the detection of Cherenkov light is very promising. The Cherenkov rings can be reconstructed from the internally reflected Cherenkov photons detected with position sensitive photomultipliers. DIRC detectors (both in form of a barrel and in form of a disc) are planned to be used in the PANDA detector at FAIR. For the WASA-at-COSY experiment details of the DIRC elements manufacturing and their holding structure are discussed.
