| Abstract | : | In this document we present the first results of a feasibility study concerning the dE/dx capabilities of the Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) in the 1/beta**2 region. Only the SVT information is considered in this report, i.e. we did not use the TPC dE/dx information at all. Only tracks which crossed an active area in each layer were considered and a simple truncated mean result was extracted. First results show that the SVT would be able to separate two particle species (e.g. p/K) up to a momentum close to the mass of the heavier particle (in this case approx. 1 GeV). |
