Abstract:
Optical properties of hydrophobic silica aerogel SP-25 have been measured, These include: a seven point dispersion law n(lambda = 266.2 - 514.5 rim), absorbance, luminescence and other physical properties, The effect of chromatic dispersion on velocity resolution for an aerogel-based RICH counter was estimated.
