Micro Drift Chamber as a precise vertex detector for the DIRAC experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
A possible implementation of the Micro Drift Chamber (MDC) technique as a high resolution vertex detector in the upstream part of the DIRAC spectrometer was investigated in this paper. Simulations of different MDC layout were performed with the help of GARFIELD package. Based on the results of simulation the optimal chamber geometry and the gas mixture were selected. One cell prototype was produced and its characteristics were measured at different particle fluxes, various gas pressures and thresholds of electronics. Data observed together with expected coordinate resolution of MDC allow to employ such detector in different field of application including the DIRAC experiment.

Recent Results from ARGUS
Some recent results are reported from the ARGUS experiment, operated at the e+estorage ring DORIS Il at DESY. In an updated analysis of semileptonic b u decays direct evidence for such transitions was obtained through reconstruction of a complete event. A study of the lepton energy spectra in +-+ E-UP and z+ P-I+ decays yielded a value for the Michel parameter which is in good agreement with a ...
متن کاملTracking and Alignment Performance of the LHCb silicon detectors
The LHCb experiment is primarily dedicated to the study of new physics through the heavy flavour decays. The tracking system of LHCb is composed of a silicon micro-strip vertex detector, two silicon strip tracker detectors and a set of straw-tube drift chambers in front of and behind a dipole generating a magnetic field. This system provides precise measure of the vertex position and high momen...
متن کاملFull Simulation Studies of the Silicon Tracker for the Linear Collider Detector ∗
A central tracker based on silicon microstrip sensors has been envisaged for the e + e − linear collider experiments. A full simulation program based on GEANT4 has been developed to study performance of the tracker. We report some preliminary results obtained using this program. The use of silicon microstrip detectors as precise tracking devices in colliding-beam experiments has been well estab...
متن کاملThe Marx Ii Secondary Vertex Detector*
We have added a high precision drift chamber to the Mark II detector at PEP. The design of the device has been optimized for measuring vertex topologies as accurately as possible. This has involved placing wires within 10 cm of the beam line, using a beryllium beam pipe as the inner gas wall of the chamber, and improving the accuracy of the drift-time measurement. The chamber operates reliably ...
متن کاملThe Argus Vertex Trigger
A fast second level trigger has been developed for the ARGUS experiment which recognizes tracks originating from the interaction region. The processor compares the hits in the ARGUS Micro Vertex Drift Chamber to 245760 masks stored in random access memories. The masks which are fully deened in three dimensions are able to reject tracks originating in the wall of the narrow beampipe of 10.5 mm r...
