Abstract
The paper discusses the importance of particle identification in particle physics experiments, and reviews the impact of ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters in experiments that are currently running, or are under construction. Several analysis methods are discussed that are needed to calibrate a RICH counter, and to align its components with the rest of the detector. Finally, methods are reviewed on how to employ the collected data to efficiently separate one particle species from the other.
