Abstract :
This paper describes the basic design parameters, current plans for the readout and trigger electronics and some simulation results of the DØ central preshower detector. The DØ central preshower detector is designed to improve electron identification and to help restore the electromagnetic energy resolution otherwise degraded by the introduction of one radiation length of material. The cylindrically shaped detector is arranged in z-z, u-u and v-v layers with a uv stereo angle of ±20 degrees
