Abstract
The Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors of DELPHI represent a large-scale part icle identification system which covers almost the full angular acceptance of DELPHI. The combination of liquid and gas radiators (C4F10, C5F12, and C 6F14) provides particle identification over the whole secondary particle mo mentum spectrum at LEP I and LEP II. Continuing optimisation on the hardwar e as well as on the online and offline software level have resulted in a st able operation of the complete detector system for more than five years at full physics performance.
