✦ Synopsis

The ZEUS microvertex detector (MVD) was installed in 2001 and commissioned in 2002/03. Doses of up to 1.2 kGy were observed from synchrotron radiation and beam-gas interactions. Detector operation is stable. Hit efficiencies are around 98%. Alignment accuracies of around 40-60 mm have been reached.
