Abstract
The pixel vertex detector is critical to the success of the BTeV experiment. It will provide very high-precision space points along charged particle trajectories with a readout fast enough so that this information can be used by the lowest level trigger. The detector will be placed in a 1.6Â T dipole magnet, inside the beam vacuum, and with the innermost region as close as 6Â mm from the colliding beams. The status of the technical design of this unique vertex detector is presented in this paper.
