Abstract
A Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector system has been built and is now in full operation within the DELPHI experiment. Large data samples of Z(O) decays are being collected with good resolution on the observ ed Cherenkov angles. Several studies of Z(O) decays using the RICH hav e already been performed on limited samples. Disturbance of the detect or operation caused by shrinkage of polymeric construction materials a nd by migration of radiator substance is reported. These effects have been counteracted and do not endanger the quality of the data.
