Abstract
The new Small Angle Tile Calorimeter (STIC) covers the forward regions in DELPHI. The main motivation for its construction was to achieve a systematic error of 0.1% on the luminosity determination. This detecto r consists of a ''shashlik'' type calorimeter, equipped with two plane s of silicon pad detectors placed respectively after 4 and 7.4 radiati on lengths. A veto counter, composed of two scintillator planes, cover s the front of the calorimeter to allow e-gamma separation and to prov ide a neutral energy trigger. The physics motivations for this project , results from extensive testbeam measurements and the performance dur ing the 1994 LEP run are reported here.
