The Factory Detector
BABAR is a detector designed to exploit the single interaction region in the PEP2 facility.__The primary aim is a detailed study of CP violating asymmetries in B0 meson decay, but a wide variety of other B, charm, tau, and two-photon physics will also be accessible. The detector comprises a nested set of detector subsystems to (1) precisely measure the collision point and decay points of the B-meson pairs produced, (2) measure the momentum and energy of the decay particles with a high resolution, and (3) precisely identify particles in these decays (i.e. electrons, muons, pions, kaons). The collaboration consists of more than 500 scientists, engineers, and graduate students from 10 countries.
