Abstract
A multi-chip, large area hybrid silicon pixel detector has been integr ated in a particle physics experiment for the first time. The plane ha d 72K 75 mu m X 500 mu m sensor elements, covering a total area of abo ut 30 cm(2). It was constructed and characterized in a collaboration b etween heavy-ion experiment WA97 and R&D project RD19. Several such pl anes will be incorporated in a hyperon telescope, in order to improve tracking in the high multiplicity environment of central lead-lead col lisions at the SPS. Results on the characterization of this detector i n a proton beam at the Omega spectrometer at CERN are presented and di scussed.
