Abstract

A silicon strip vertex detector consisting of 36 modules has been built and operated in the Mark II solenoidal detector at the Stanford Linear Collider. The construction of the detector modules, their performance tests, the stability and accuracy of their placement, and the precision alignment of the complete device prior to and after installation are discussed. We also describe the operation of the vertex detector, and we discuss the measurement of impact parameters of charged particle tracks in conjunction with the Mark II wire drift chambers.
