Abstract

A silicon pixel telescope, consisting of seven planes for a total of about 0.5 M sensor elements with size of 75 μm × 500 μm, was successfully employed in the WA97 experiment at CERN. We describe here the overall performance of the detector; we also report some early results from Pb-Pb and p-Pb runs, showing the powerful capability to measure particle momenta and the effective mass of hyperons with a good resolution.
