The DZero Collaboration has recently completed the upgrade of our detector in order to take advantage of the increase in luminosity of Fermilab's Tevatron Collider. Among the most novel portions of the upgrade are the scintillating fiber tracker and preshower detectors. They are made possible by using new solid state photodetectors called Visible Light Photon Counters (VLPC) that have a quantum efficiency of 0.8. I will describe our detector, the motivations for its design and construction, and discuss some of the challenges met in its realization. I will also show some of the results we have obtained running it.
