This paper describes the design, fabrication, installation and performance of the new inner layer called Layer 0 (L0) that was inserted in the existing Run IIa Silicon Micro-Strip Tracker (SMT) of the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron {bar p}p collider. L0 provides tracking information from two layers of sensors, which are mounted with center lines at a radial distance of 16.1 mm and 17.6 mm respectively from the beam axis. The sensors and readout electronics are mounted on a specially designed and fabricated carbon fiber structure that includes cooling for sensor and readout electronics. The structure has a thin polyimide circuit bonded to it so that the circuit couples electrically to the carbon fiber allowing the support structure to be used both for detector grounding and a low impedance connection between the remotely mounted hybrids and the sensors.

We present the results of tests made on two types of uranium/liquid argon calorimeter modules, one electromagnetic and one hadronic, constructed for the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. For electrons and hadrons with energies between 10 and 150 GeV, we present measurements of energy resolution, linearity of response, electromagnetic to hadronic response ratio (e/π), and longitudinal hadronic shower development. We have also investigated the effects of adding small amounts of methane to the liquid argon.

The central region of the silicon microstrip detector used in Fermilab experiment E771 was subjected to a peak fluence of 9.5 × 1013 p/cm2 induced by 800 GeV protons over a two-month period. Fourteen 300 μm thick planes manufactured by Micron Semiconductor were operated at bias voltages ranging from 84 to 109 V. Analysis of data from low intensity beam triggers taken near the end of the run shows that the mean pulse height from our amplifiers began to decline at a fluence of approximately 2 × 1013 p/cm2 and fell to near zero by 6 × 1013 p/cm2. We show that the use of fast amplifiers contributed to this early loss of signal.
