BTeV

Recently a similarly motivated experiment (BTeV) has submitted a expression of interest at Fermilab [16]. The schematic layout of the BTeV proposal is shown in figure 11. The baseline description of the detector has a dipole magnet centred on the interaction region, thus providing the basis for a two-arm spectrometer. A vertex pixel detector (inside the magnetic field) provides high resolution tracking near the interaction. The baseline design has seven downstream tracker stations of straw tubes along both arms of the spectrometer. For identification of electromagnetic final states and kaons there is electromagnetic calorimetry and a RICH detector respectively, with a toroidal magnetic detector for muon identification and measurement. The BTeV detector relies heavily on the vertex detector for triggering of the B events.
