One important physics goal of future Higgs Factories is to probe the Higgs coupling to strange quarks. This requires the design of a specialized Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector that can provide pi/K separation up to 30-50 GeV. In this talk, we present studies of a RICH system that operates at 5 Tesla. We find that the combination of an improved analysis method to align mirrors and detectors using 3D tracks can enable pi/K separation up to 50 GeV/c, which would significantly improve strange-tagging performance. This talk discusses what is required to reach this challenging goal.
