M. Acciarri et al., THE L3 SILICON MICROVERTEX DETECTOR - INSTALLATION AND RESULTS ON 1993 PERFORMANCE, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 360(1-2), 1995, pp. 103-109
The status of the Silicon Microvertex Detector (SMD) and its installat
ion into the LEP-L3 experiment are presented, highlighting novel featu
res and sophisticated techniques. Preliminary results based on 1993 da
ta are given and compared with Monte Carlo predictions, to understand
the detector performances and its tracking capabilities.
