Anode image fitting Position of the photocathode
image on the anode can change.
Anode images are cleaned and a Sobel filter is used to detect the edge.
Automated procedure, updates the position of the photo-cathode centre in Conditions Database

PID algorithm Global event likelihood algorithm. Likelihood function includes
expected contributions from signal plus background for every pixel.
Signal photons come from the track that generated the ring, background can be noise or Cherenkov light from other tracks.
The whole event is considered as a whole.
Performs better than methods that treat every track separately, especially at high occupancies with overlapping rings.

Calibration samples To determine ID and mis-ID rates pure samples of
particles are needed: K±, π±, p Identified without the use of any PID.

Conclusions The alignment and calibration of the LHCb RICH detectors has
been successful, and the detector is performing according to expectations.
The particle identification performance has been evaluated with data and looks very promising and further improvement is expected. Robust performance in a high background environment.
The ability to distinguish pions from kaons from protons over a wide momentum range using the RICH system is an essential part of many LHCb physics analyses.
