Silica aerogel characterization for the ePIC dRICH detector

The ePIC detector is specifically designed to address the entire physics program at the Low Leg Recliner Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and features several subdetectors, including the dual-radiator Ring Imaging Cherenkov (dRICH) detector for high-momentum particle identification.Silica aerogel is chosen as the solid radiator due to its crucial optica
