Abstract:

 The challenging luminosity anticipated for the Tevatron Run II has
 required that the DZero detector undertake a massive upgrade.  One of
 the more innovative portions of this upgrade is the replacement of
 its traditional drift chamber-based tracker with one that utilizes
 scintillating fiber and Visible Light Photon Counter (VLPC) readout.
 Such a detector provides fast triggering and good single-hit position
 resolution.  All components of this detector have been scrutinized
 through quality control checks throughout the assembly process.
 Sufficient information now exists to provide guidance to other
 experiments considering a similar detector.  In this talk, we will
 present the results of a careful study of over 100,000 VLPC detectors
 and a cosmic ray study of several thousand fibers.  The results of
 our continuing studies of the detector in the collider environment
 will also be presented.
