  TORCH is a time-of-flight detector that is being developed for the Upgrade II
of the LHCb experiment, with the aim of providing charged particle
identification over the momentum range 2-10 GeV/c. A small-scale TORCH
demonstrator with customised readout electronics has been operated successfully
in beam tests at the CERN PS. Preliminary results indicate that a single-photon
resolution better than 100 ps can be achieved.
