The Target Silicon Detector for the FOCUS Spectrometer

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

We describe a silicon microstrip detector interleaved with segments of a beryllium oxide target which was used in the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. The detector was designed to improve the vertex resolution and to enhance the reconstruction efficiency of short-lived charm particles.
