Abstract
The CLEO detector is undergoing major improvements in conjunction with a high luminosity upgrade of the CESR e(+)e(-) collider. A novel elem ent is a state of the art particle identification system, based on a p roximity focused Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector. This detector will p rovide an excellent hadron identification at all the momenta relevant to the study of the decays of B mesons produced at the Upsilon(4S) res onance. Some features unique to our design will be discussed together with some results achieved on individual components. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
