Editing Ring-imaging Cherenkov detector (section)

=== Origins ===

The ring-imaging detection technique was first proposed by Jacques Séguinot and [[Tom Ypsilantis]], working at [[CERN]] in 1977.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Seguinot |first1=J. |last2=Ypsilantis |first2=T. |title=Photo-ionization and Cherenkov ring imaging |journal=Nuclear Instruments and Methods |date=1977 |volume=142 |issue=3 |pages=377–391 |doi=10.1016/0029-554X(77)90671-1|bibcode=1977NucIM.142..377S }}</ref> Their research and development, of high precision single-photon detectors and related optics, lay the foundations for the design<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Williams |first1=S.
