Abstract
A large area imaging Cherenkov detector is under construction to provide hadron identification in the momentum range between 3 and 8 GeV/c for the CLAS12 exeperiment at the new 12 GeV electron beam of the Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). The detector adopts a hybrid optics solution with aerogel radiator, light planar and spherical mirrors and highly-segmented photon detectors. Cherenkov photons will be imaged either directly (for forward tracks) or after two mirror reflections (large angle tracks). The status of the detector construction is here reported.
