The Silicon Vertex Detector of the Collider Detector at Fermilab [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1994 Abstract A silicon microstrip vertex detector has been constructed and installed in the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The device has been designed to operate at a hadron collider. It began collecting data in May of 1992 and has functioned within specification. Technical details are presented on all aspects of the system and its performance.
