Abstract
We report test beam results on the overall system performance of two m odules of the L3 Silicon Microvertex Detector exposed to a 50 GeV pion beam. Each module consists of two AC coupled double-sided silicon str ip detectors equipped with VLSI readout electronics. The associated da ta acquisition system comprises an 8 bit FADC, an optical data transmi ssion circuit, a specialized data reduction processor and a synchroniz ation module. A spatial resolution of 7.5 mum and 14 mum for the two c oordinates and a detection efficiency in excess of 99% are measured.
