Abstract
During 1996 the SLD collaboration completed the construction of, and b egan the operation of, a new vertex detector (VXD3). This detector, ba sed on 96 CCD's each of 13 cm(2) area, is an upgrade of the original v ertex detector of SLD (VXD2), and is made possible by advances in the technology of CCD detectors. New front-end electronics and a new data acquisition system were developed for this upgrade. Its improved chara cteristics will enhance many SLD measurements, and open the possibilit y to observe B-s(o)-mixing. More than 50 000 Z events obtained with th e new vertex detector have been analyzed. Results on the new detector performance (including resolution evaluation) from this first data are presented.
