Abstract

A silicon drift detector of circular geometry giving unambiguously the radial and azimuthal coordinates of particle's interaction point for events with high multiplicity is part of the experimental set up of the NA45 experiment at CERN SPS. The paper reviews the characteristics of the detector and of its assembly among the other detectors of the experiment. The first experimental results showing the performance of the detector in term of resolution and its effectiveness in reconstructing the position of the event are reported.
