A. Adam et al., THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A DOUBLE-SIDED SILICON MICROVERTEX DETECTOR FOR THE L3 EXPERIMENT AT CERN, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 41(4), 1994, pp. 772-778
A Silicon Microvertex Detector (SMD) has been commissioned for the L3
experiment at the Large Electron-Positron colliding-beam accelerator (
LEP) at the European Center for Nuclear Physics, (CERN). The SMD is a
72,672 channel, two layer barrel tracker that is comprised of 96 accou
pled, double-sided silicon detectors. Details of the design and constr
uction are presented.
