'''Overview''' 
The integration of the three Cherenkov detectors in the central detector involves setting their photo-sensor readouts in the non-uniform fringe field of the solenoid. While an out-of-field readout option for the DIRC may be feasible, an in-field readout is the only option for the two RICH detectors. The objective of this activity, thus, has been to assess the gain and the timing performance of available photosensors in high magnetic fields (0T–5T) and for various relative orientations between the sensor and the magnetic field and to reasonably support (as needed for the R&D) further design optimization studies of these sensors. The long-term goal of the research is to recommend sensor options for Cherenkov-detectors readout in the magnetic field of the solenoid magnet.

'''Test Facility at Jefferson Lab''' 
The high-B sensor test facility was installed and commissioned during 2014-2015. Jefferson Lab allocated space specifically for this purpose in the new High Bay Test Building. The facility consists of a 5.1-T superconducting solenoid magnet, custom-designed dark test box, and electronics. Photographs of the test area, the dark box, and the magnet are shown below.

== eRD14 Consortium: An integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector ==
The EIC PID consortium (eRD14) has been formed to develop an integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector, for which excellent particle identification is an essential requirement. For instance, identification of the hadrons in the final state is needed for understanding how different quark flavors contribute to the properties of hadrons, and reliable identification of the scattered electron is important for covering kinematics where pion backgrounds are large. The PID systems also have the greatest overall impact on the layout of the central detector, and put important constraints on the magnetic field. It is thus essential to conduct the relevant R&D at an early stage of the development of a complete EIC detector. In addition to providing solutions addressing the broader EIC requirements, the PID consortium has worked closely with BNL and JLab to ensure that the specific R&D projects are compatible with the detector concepts that are being pursued there.

To address the different requirement associated with the three different parts of the detector (ion-beam direction, electron-beam direction, and central region), the consortium is pursuing R&D on (and requesting funding for) three different technologies for imaging Cherenkov detectors: a dual-radiator (gas/aerogel) RICH for the hadron endcap, a high-performance DIRC for the barrel region, a modular aerogel RICH (mRICH) for the electron endcap (which could also be used in the hadron endcap in conjunction with a single-radiator gas RICH such as the one developed by eRD6). A 4π time-of-flight (TOF) coverage is also needed for PID in the momentum range below the Cherenkov threshold and for bunch identification (which is important for ring-ring colliders with a high repetition rate), for which the consortium has performed R&D on mRPC and MCP-PMT based TOF systems.

Yordanka:

The consideration of possible photosensor solutions for each detector component is driven by the operational parameters of the detector, with cost optimization in mind. Photomultipliers (PMTs) from the currently available pool that are viable candidates for EIC application are Silicon PMTs (SiPMs), Multi-anode PMTs (MaPMTs), commercial Microchannel-Plate PMTs (MCP-PMTs), Large-Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPDs), and Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEMs).

The key parameters of the photodetectors for the mRICH are small pixel size, resistance to magnetic field, and low cost (due to its large sensor area). Depending on the mRICH location, the requirement for radiation hardness will vary. The detector does not require good PMT timing resolution. GEMs with a photocathode sensitive to visible light, with their good radiation hardness and good position resolution, would be a very good and cost effective solution for the mRICH. SiPMs could be used if their radiation hardness is sufficient. LAPPDs with pixelized readout could be considered as possible photosensors for mRICH detectors if they have resistance to magnetic fields and low cost. MCP-PMTs satisfy the mRICH requirements, however their high cost is a drawback.

The key parameter of the photodetectors for the Dual-radiator RICH is the small pixel size. Although the relative sensor area (normalized to the absolute detector area) of this detector is small, due to the large absolute detector area, cost is also an important parameter. Good sensor options for the Dual RICH would be similar to the ones for mRICH (keeping in mind that due to the location of the sensors, the requirement for radiation hardness is not as important for the Dual RICH). The key parameters of the photodetectors for a DIRC are fast timing, small pixel size, and a moderate to low dark count rate (DCR).

Magnetic-field tolerance is required if the DIRC readout is located within the magnetic field of the solenoid. SiPMs could eventually be possible for DIRC if future developments lower their DCR to an acceptable level. Currently, the only photodetectors satisfying these requirements are MCP-PMTs (including LAPPDs with pixelized readout). Excellent timing resolution (~100 ps) is in particular required for the high-performance DIRC if a time-based PID reconstruction method is adopted for the geometry based on wide radiator plates. Such timing resolution is satisfied by currently commercially available MCP-PMTs, however, development of electronics with good time resolution for small signals may be required.

== eRD14 Consortium: An integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector ==
The EIC PID consortium (eRD14) has been formed to develop an integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector, for which excellent particle identification is an essential requirement. For instance, identification of the hadrons in the final state is needed for understanding how different quark flavors contribute to the properties of hadrons, and reliable identification of the scattered electron is important for covering kinematics where pion backgrounds are large. The PID systems also have the greatest overall impact on the layout of the central detector, and put important constraints on the magnetic field. It is thus essential to conduct the relevant R&D at an early stage of the development of a complete EIC detector. In addition to providing solutions addressing the broader EIC requirements, the PID consortium has worked closely with BNL and JLab to ensure that the specific R&D projects are compatible with the detector concepts that are being pursued there.

To address the different requirement associated with the three different parts of the detector (ion-beam direction, electron-beam direction, and central region), the consortium is pursuing R&D on (and requesting funding for) three different technologies for imaging Cherenkov detectors: a dual-radiator (gas/aerogel) RICH for the hadron endcap, a high-performance DIRC for the barrel region, a modular aerogel RICH (mRICH) for the electron endcap (which could also be used in the hadron endcap in conjunction with a single-radiator gas RICH such as the one developed by eRD6). A 4π time-of-flight (TOF) coverage is also needed for PID in the momentum range below the Cherenkov threshold and for bunch identification (which is important for ring-ring colliders with a high repetition rate), for which the consortium has performed R&D on mRPC and MCP-PMT based TOF systems.

== eRD14 Consortium: An integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector ==
The EIC PID consortium (eRD14) has been formed to develop an integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector, for which excellent particle identification is an essential requirement. For instance, identification of the hadrons in the final state is needed for understanding how different quark flavors contribute to the properties of hadrons, and reliable identification of the scattered electron is important for covering kinematics where pion backgrounds are large. The PID systems also have the greatest overall impact on the layout of the central detector, and put important constraints on the magnetic field. It is thus essential to conduct the relevant R&D at an early stage of the development of a complete EIC detector. In addition to providing solutions addressing the broader EIC requirements, the PID consortium has worked closely with BNL and JLab to ensure that the specific R&D projects are compatible with the detector concepts that are being pursued there.

To address the different requirement associated with the three different parts of the detector (ion-beam direction, electron-beam direction, and central region), the consortium is pursuing R&D on (and requesting funding for) three different technologies for imaging Cherenkov detectors: a dual-radiator (gas/aerogel) RICH for the hadron endcap, a high-performance DIRC for the barrel region, a modular aerogel RICH (mRICH) for the electron endcap (which could also be used in the hadron endcap in conjunction with a single-radiator gas RICH such as the one developed by eRD6). A 4π time-of-flight (TOF) coverage is also needed for PID in the momentum range below the Cherenkov threshold and for bunch identification (which is important for ring-ring colliders with a high repetition rate), for which the consortium has performed R&D on mRPC and MCP-PMT based TOF systems.

The EIC PID consortium (eRD14) has been formed to develop an integrated program for particle identification (PID) for a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) detector, for which excellent particle identification is an essential requirement. For instance, identification of the hadrons in the final state is needed for understanding how different quark flavors contribute to the properties of hadrons, and reliable identification of the scattered electron is important for covering kinematics where pion backgrounds are large. The PID systems also have the greatest overall impact on the layout of the central detector, and put important constraints on the magnetic field. It is thus essential to conduct the relevant R&D at an early stage of the development of a complete EIC detector. In addition to providing solutions addressing the broader EIC requirements, the PID consortium has worked closely with BNL and JLab to ensure that the specific R&D projects are compatible with the detector concepts that are being pursued there.

To address the different requirement associated with the three different parts of the detector (ion-beam direction, electron-beam direction, and central region), the consortium is pursuing R&D on (and requesting funding for) three different technologies for imaging Cherenkov detectors: a dual-radiator (gas/aerogel) RICH for the hadron endcap, a high-performance DIRC for the barrel region, a modular aerogel RICH (mRICH) for the electron endcap (which could also be used in the hadron endcap in conjunction with a single-radiator gas RICH such as the one developed by eRD6). A 4π time-of-flight (TOF) coverage is also needed for PID in the momentum range below the Cherenkov threshold and for bunch identification (which is important for ring-ring colliders with a high repetition rate), for which the consortium has performed R&D on mRPC and MCP-PMT based TOF systems.
