  • Abstract
    The use of an optical discriminator for fast hyperon selection has been investigated by the RD30 Collaboration. A realistic Monte-Carlo simulation of this device based on the detection of the Cherenkov light produced in a thin crystal shows quite promising performances. Such a discriminator has been built and the first results obtained in a pion beam will be presented.
