Abstract
A vertex detector is proposed for charm and beauty experiments using a simple arrangement of scintillating optical fibres to provide high resolution (∼10 μm) in a plane transverse to the event axis. Experience with the high resolution bubble chambers shows that this is optimal for the detection of heavy flavour decays in complex events. The aim is to provide a high rate triggerable charm/beauty track and vertex detector for fixed target or collider experiments.
