The BABAR detector

Abstract: The BABAR Collaboration BABAR, the detector for the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric e + e − B Factory operating at the Υ (4S) resonance, was designed to allow comprehensive studies of CP -violation in B-meson decays. Charged particle tracks are measured in a multi-layer silicon vertex tracker surrounded by a cylindrical wire drift chamber. Electromagnetic showers from electrons and photons are detected in an array of CsI crystals located just inside the solenoidal coil of a superconducting magnet. Muons and neutral had… Show more

“…The data sample used for this analysis contains (226.6 ± 2.5) × 10 6 Υ (4S) → BB decays collected by the BABAR detector [12] at the SLAC PEP-II e + e − asymmetric-energy storage ring. The primary detector components used in the analysis are a charged-particle tracking system consisting of a five-layer silicon vertex detector and a 40-layer drift chamber surrounded by a 1.5-T solenoidal magnet, an electromagnetic calorimeter comprising 6580 CsI(Tl) crystals, and a dedicated particle-identification system consisting of a detector of internally reflected Cherenkov light providing at least 3 σ K-π separation over the range of laboratory momentum relevant for this study .…”

“…As expected, the up-type cc mode is dominant between the cc kinematic threshold and the bb kinematic threshold for small values of tan β . The BABAR detector [3] has been in operation from 1999 to 2008 at SLAC on the PEP-II e + e − collider. Most data were taken at the ϒ(4S) resonance, above the B-meson pair threshold, to study B-meson physics and CP violation [4].…”

“…The design of BABAR detector [27] was planned to allow studies of CP violation, together with the study of several B and D meson decays. The PEP-II B factory is a high luminosity e + e − collider, which operates at the center-of-mass (CM) energy of 10.58 GeV on the Υ (4S) resonance.…”
