Abstract
One quarter of the Forward Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector is installe d and has been operated in the DELPHI experiment. The detector covers the forward-backward regions (15-degrees < theta < 35-degrees). Two ra diator systems are used for particle identification in the momentum ra nge up to 40 Gev/c, a liquid Perfluorohexane and the Perfluorobutane g as. UV-photons with wave lengths from approximately 170 nm to approxim ately 200 nm (7.3-6.2 eV) are detected with high efficiency. The total active area of the photon detector is approximately 8 m2.
