Silicon vertex tracker: a fast precise tracking trigger for CDF
2000
The Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT), currently being built for the CDF II experiment, is a hardware device that reconstructs 2-D tracks online using measurements from the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVXII) and the Central Outer Tracker (COT). The precise measurement of the
impact parameterof the SVT tracks will allow, for the first time in a hadron collider environment, to trigger on events containing B hadrons that are very important for many studies, such as
CP violationin the b sector and searching for new heavy
particles decayingto b . In this report we describe the overall architecture, algorithms and the hardware implementation of the SVT.
