Abstract
For the Belle II spectrometer a proximity focusing RICH counter with an aerogel radiator (ARICH) will be employed as a PID system in the forward end-cap region of the spectrometer. The detector will provide about 4Ï separation of pions and kaons up to momenta of 3.5Â GeV/c, at the kinematic limits of the experiment. We present the up-to-date status of the ARICH simulation and reconstruction software, focusing on the recent improvements of the reconstruction algorithms and detector description in the Geant4 simulation. In addition, as a demonstration of detector readout software functionality we show the first cosmic ray Cherenkov rings observed in the ARICH.
