Daniel M. Kaplan (Illinois Institute of Technology)
TL;DR
The BTeV experiment at the C0 Tevatron aims to study rare charm and beauty decays, including CP violation, using vertex detectors placed close to the beam to enhance detection capabilities.
Contribution
This paper summarizes the physics goals and innovative techniques of the BTeV experiment, focusing on near-beam detector deployment for studying rare processes.
Findings
Design of vertex detectors within a few mm of the beam
Potential use of a wire target in beam halo for early data collection
Preparation for collider Run II with focus on CP violation in charm and beauty decays
Abstract
The physics goals and techniques of the proposed BTeV experiment at the C0 Tevatron interaction area are summarized, with emphasis on aspects of the experiment that depend on near-beam issues. BTeV aims to carry out a comprehensive study of rare processes (especially CP violation) in charm and beauty decay starting in collider Run II. Vertex detectors will be deployed within a few mm of the beam. Early running may employ a wire target in the beam halo.
