Performance of the Belle silicon vertex detector
Abstract
The performance of the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) in the Belle experiment at the KEK B factory is described. The resolution on the distance between B meson vertices is estimated to be 115 -26+24 μm, which is good enough for the precise measurement of the CP asymmetry in B decays. A plan for the upgrade of the SVD is also mentioned.
