Abstract

The plans for LHCb upgrade II in the HL LHC era include complementing the experiment's particle identification capabilities in the low momentum region up to 10-15 GeV/c with the novel TORCH time of flight detector. TORCH is designed to provide 15 ps timing resolution for charged particles, resulting in K/π (p/K) particle identification up to 10 (15) GeV/c momentum over a 10 m flight path. We present the results of beam and laboratory test of TORCH prototypes; the latest TORCH design for the LHCb upgrade II Framework Technical Design Report; and the simulated particle ID performance in LHCb upgrade II high luminosity running conditions.
