Abstract
In order to fully exploit the physics opportunities of the Fermilab Tevatron in the Main Injector era, the D0 collaboration is building a major detector upgrade. All of the current D0 central and forward tracking detectors will be removed and replaced with a magnetic tracking system. Key components of this system include a silicon micro-vertex detector and a scintillating-fiber outer tracking detector surrounded by a 2 T superconducting solenoid. A preshower detector, based on scintillating tiles with fiber readout, is situated just outside the solenoid. Detailed simulations of this tracking system have been carried out. These studies show that the tracking and triggering capabilities of the upgraded tracking system will greatly enhance D0's ability to detect and study the top quark and will enable D0 to take advantage of the large amount of B physics available with the Main Injector.
