Abstract
A silicon microstrip vertex detector has been built as an upgrade to t he ARGUS detector for increased precision and efficiency in the recons truction of decay vertices. This paper discusses the mechanical and el ectronic design of this device and presents first results from its suc cessful test operation yielding an impact parameter resolution of abou t 18 mum.
