Abstract
The ring imaging Cherenkov detector system in the DELPHI experiment at the Large Electron-Positron storage ring at CERN, is designed to do p article identification over most of the solid angle in the momentum ra nge from approximately 2 GeV/c to approximately 40 GeV/c. Two radiator media are used to cover the momentum range; (i) a 1 cm layer of liqui d C6F14, and (ii) a volume filled with gaseous C5F12 or C4F10. Photose nsitive time projection chambers record the conversion points of the u ltraviolet photons produced in both radiator systems. The total active area is approximately 30 m2 in the barrel region and approximately 8 m2 in the two endcaps. The design of the detector systems is described in this paper. We will also report performance figures and compare th em to simulation studies.
