Abstract

The production of bound kaon-nucleon-states (kaonic-cluster) in the reaction p + p→[ppK-] +K+should be investigated in a dedicated measurement at the FOPI detector system at the SIS-accelerator of GSI, by looking for the decay [ppK-]→p + λ→p + p + π-. To select the final states, the detector system SiLViO has been build up as a trigger for L-Hyperons. This detector consists of two layers of segmented silicon-strip-detectors, which are able to measure online the particle multiplicity. These two layers are arranged such, that most of the λ-Hyperons will decay between them. The trigger signal is generated by comparing online the hit multiplicity on the two layers.
