Abstract
The silicon tracker, SVT, built for the BaBar detector has been essential to the execution of the experiment's primary goal: the measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B meson decays. Not only has it performed nearly perfectly, it has not even needed any parts replaced for radiation damage, and it has enabled the experiment to carry out a broader physics program than originally envisioned. We review briefly the SVT, its performance, and its key role in three measurements at BaBar: sin2β in BâJÏKS, time-dependent CP violation in BâKSÏ0, and D0-D¯0 mixing.
