  • Abstract
    One quarter of the Forward Ring Imaging Cherenkov (Forward RICH) detector has been installed and operated in the DELPHI experiment. The detector covers the forward-backward regions (15°<θ<35°). Two radiator systems are used for particle identification in the momentum range up to 40 GeV/c, i.e., a liquid perfluorohexane and perfluorobutane gas. UV-photons with wavelengths from ~170 nm to ~200 nm (7.3-6.2 eV) are detected with high efficiency. The total active area of the photon detector is ~8 m2
