vertexdetektorer
A vertex detector is a type of particle detector used in high-energy physics experiments to precisely measure the trajectories of charged particles as they pass through a sensitive medium. Its primary function is to reconstruct the paths of these particles with the highest possible accuracy, especially near the interaction point where particles are produced. This precise reconstruction is crucial for identifying the origin of particle tracks, which is often a point of collision or decay.
The design of a vertex detector typically involves layers of highly granular silicon sensors placed as close
The accuracy of a vertex detector is often described by its impact parameter resolution, which quantifies how
