| dc.description.abstract | We examine in detail the dE/dx method for particle identification in the case of the long lived secondary hadrons and we try to implement it on the search for the elusive Ab baryon using a Monte Carlo simulation. We also analyze pp collision data at square root (s)- = 1.8 TeV in order to test the ability of the method to correctly identify protons and pions. The results showed that although in the decay [ ] we can only examine a very small part of the momentum spectrum of p and 7, the identification is correct in more than 94% of the cases. Therefore we believe that dE/dx can become a powerful tool in the search for the [ ] baryon at Fermilab. | en |
