A Silicon Microstrip Vertex Detector for Direct Photon Physics

The design, construction and testing of X - Y tracking modules for a silicon microstrip vertex detector for use in Fermilab experiment E706 is discussed. A successful adaptation of various technologies, essential for instrumenting this class of detectors at a university laboratory is described. Emphasis is placed on considerable cost reduction, design flexibility and more rapid turnover with a view toward larger detectors for the future.
