Forward vertex detector upgrade for the PHENIX experiment at RHIC

摘要：

A new forward vertex detector is under construction for the PHENIX experiment and will be installed in 2011.The device consists of two sets of four disks of silicon mini-strips and matches the acceptance of the existing muon detectors,and will provide precise vertex measurement for charged tracks.The forward vertex detector is designed to greatly enhance the heavy-flavor physics capabilities on PHENIX.The structure of the proposed device and its performance from Monte Carlo studies are presented.
