| Abstract | The NA60 experiment is taking place at the CERN SPS, to study the production of open charm and of prompt dimuons in collisions induced by proton and heavy ion beams on nuclear targets. In this paper we will present an overview of the detector concept, followed by a description of the newly developed silicon vertex telescope and its performance. Then we present some first results, including a dimuon mass spectrum obtained using the silicon vertex telescope. |
