The design and performance of the LEP silicon vertex detectors are described. Their application to the measurement of the τ-lepton and b-hadron lifetimes is discussed and the current status of these measurements is reviewed.
La configuration et les performances des détecteurs de vertex au silicium construits à LEP sont décrites. Leur utilisation pour la détermination de la durée de vie du lepton τ et des hadrons b est discutée, et la situation actuelle pour ce type de mesures est passée en revue.
