N1 - Funding Information:
We are grateful to the members of the NA50 collaboration who provided a stimulating and friendly working environment during the construction and operation of the detector. Financial support from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare of Italy is acknowledged. This work was supported in part by the Polish State Committee for Scientific Research, Project no. 2P03B03319.

N2 - The operation and performance of the silicon strip Multiplicity Detector in the heavy-ion experiment NA50 at CERN are presented together with a selection of physics results. The main features of the detector are high speed (50MHz sampling frequency), high granularity (more than 13,000 strips), and good radiation resistance. The detector provided a measurement of event centrality in Pb-Pb collisions, as well as target identification and the measurement of charged particle pseudorapidity distributions as a function of centrality.
