摘要
New results from the tests of the impact parameter discriminator by the RD30 Collaboration are presented. The device, based on the detection of Cherenkov light produced in a thin crystal, is able to cope with extremely high rates in the GHz range and sign tracks with non-zero impact parameter at a first trigger level. We report experimental results obtained with a sapphire shell surrounded by a liquid cladding compensating chromatic dispersion. An excellent signal to background ratio has been obtained and the sensitivity at low impact parameters reaches the requirements for efficient B-meson selection. The use of such a device for hyperon selection will also be discussed.
