Abstract
A radial 3-inch silicon drift detector (SiDD), designed by Rehak, was used in the WA93 experiment to measure the production of charged parti cles and to determine detector characteristics for future applications with even higher multiplicities. Beside correlations with other detec tors of the WA93 experiment, a Monte Carlo model and the results of a dedicated experiment with a test beam were used to interpret the S + A u 200 A GeV data. This paper describes the experimental setup and the methods used to extract the properties of the radial SiDD.
