    | • | R5900 MA PMTs have proven to be an 
 |  | 
   
    |  | extremly
    reliable and easy to use 
 |  | 
   
    |  | detector
    for Cherenkov photons. 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | • | Several new methods were developed for 
 | 
   
    |  | the
    design of the detector surface, 
 |  | 
   
    |  | analysis
    of data and alignment of the 
 |  | 
   
    |  | optical
    system.

    | • | The
    HERA-B RICH counter showed an 
 |  | 
   
    |  | excellent
    performance in very adverse 
 |  | 
   
    |  | conditions.
