The design work started in the mid 1990's was documented in the full design documents that appeared in 1998. The current leader of the pixel project is Kevin Einsweiler, a member of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Staff.

The Pixel detector was designed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Universita di Genova in Italy , Bonn University in Germany and others. SLAC is, however, participating in getting the detector ready for data taking now. Nice article but just a small correction:
