SiΛvio: A trigger for Λ-hyperons

As online trigger for events containing Λ hyperons in p+p collisions at 3.1GeV a silicon-based device has been designed and built. This system has been integrated close to the target region within the FOPI spectrometer at GSI and was also employed as a tracking device to improve the vertex reconstru...

Zusammenfassung:	As online trigger for events containing Λ hyperons in p+p collisions at 3.1GeV a silicon-based device has been designed and built. This system has been integrated close to the target region within the FOPI spectrometer at GSI and was also employed as a tracking device to improve the vertex reconstruction of secondary decays. The design of the detector components, read-out, the trigger capability as well as the tracking performance are presented. An enrichment factor of about 14 was achieved for events containing a Λ-hyperon candidate.
