Title :
D0 silicon microstrip tracker
Author_Institution :
Fermilab, USA
Abstract :
The D0 Run II silicon microstrip tracker (SMT) has 3 square meters of Si area. There are 792,576 channels read out by 6192 SVXIIe chips on 912 read out modules. The SMT provides track and vertex reconstruction capabilities over the full pseudorapidity coverage of the D0 detector. The full detector has been running successfully since April 2002. This presentation covers the experience in commissioning and operating the recent electronics upgrade which improved stability of the SMT and estimates of the radiation damage.
