Abstract
The use of an optical discriminator for fast hyperon selection has bee n investigated by the RD30 Collaboration. A realistic Monte-Carlo simu lation of this device based on the detection of the Cherenkov light pr oduced in a thin crystal shows quite promising performances. Such a di scriminator has been built and the first results obtained in a pion be am will be presented.
