Simulation of a RICH detector for the AMS experiment and reconstruction of kinematic parameters of detected partiels

Procedures for simulating processes of generation, propagation, and detection of Cherenkov photons and of reconstructing kinematic parameters of detected particles in the ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) are described. A possibility of detection by the RICH with an area of about $1\,\mathrm{m}^2$ of primary cosmic-ray particles with different charge number $Z$ in a wide momentum range is shown.
