Abstract
The design and construction of the silicon strip microvertex detector (SMD) of the L3 experiment at LEP are described. We present the sensor s, readout electronics, data acquisition system, mechanical assembly a nd support, displacement monitoring systems and radiation monitoring s ystem of the recently installed double-sided, double-layered SMD. This detector utilizes novel and sophisticated techniques for its readout.
