在这篇文章中，我们回顾了一种独特的切伦科夫环成像设备，通常称为DIRC探测器。DIRC是“检测内部反射切伦科夫(光)”的首字母缩写。我们简要讨论了这些器件最初是如何被激发和构思的，描述了它们的基本工作原理，它们的早期原型，以及制造研发。然后，我们描述了SLAC的Babar DIRC，它是这种探测器类型在重大物理实验中的第一次全尺寸实施。SLAC的进一步研发旨在使一流工厂能够以非常高的速度运营，这导致了下面将描述的聚焦DIRC概念和原型。然后，我们回顾了目前正在进行的广泛的进一步开发，使用的是DIRC主题的变体，包括Belle-II的顶部计数器；用于GLUEX、熊猫桶和端盖的一些FDIRC设计；以及LHCb手电筒。
In this article we review a distinctive type of Cherenkov ring imaging device generically called a DIRC detector. DIRC is an acronym for “Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov (Light)”. We briefly discuss how these devices were first motivated and conceived, describe their basic operating principles, their early prototypes, and fabrication R&D. We then describe the BaBar DIRC at SLAC, as the first full scale implementation of this detector type for a major physics experiment. Further R&D at SLAC that was motivated to enable operations at the very high rates of SuperB factories led to the Focusing DIRC concept and prototype that will next be described. We then review a wide range of further developments now underway using variants on the DIRC theme, including the TOP counter at Belle-II; a number of FDIRC designs for GLUEX, PANDA barrel and endcap; and the LHCb TORCH.
