The STIC calorimeter was installed in the DELPHI detector in 1994. The
main goal is to measure the luminosity with an accuracy better than 0
.1 %. The calorimeter was built using the ''Shashlik'' technique. The
light is collected by wavelength shifting fibers and readout by photot
etrodes that can operate inside the magnetic field. The detector perfo
rmance during the 1994-1995 data taking is presented. The different co
ntributions to the systematic error on the luminosity measurement are
discussed.
