Abstract
The structure of the calorimeters built with the ''Shashlik'' techniqu e [1] allows the insertion of tracking detectors within the sampling s tructure, in order to improve the accuracy in the determination of the showering particle direction and to enhance the e-pi separation abili ty. The new luminosity monitor of the DELPHI detector at LEP was equip ped With two planes of silicon pad detectors placed at a depth of 4 an d 7.4 radiation lengths. A description of the silicon detectors is giv en, together with the results from the exposure to a test beam.
