Abstract
The simulation of a silicon microstrip detector at the center of the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider is described. The efficiency of a silicon vertex detector for identifying b-quark jets in a “non-magnetic” detector such as D0 is investigated. For a position resolution of 10 μm the gluon/b-jet rejection factor is estimated to be 25 for a b-jet efficiency of 25%. The detection of top quarks in the presence of background from high p T W boson production is studied.
