Performance of the SLD barrels CRID during the 1992 physics data run

The SLD is an e/sup +/e/sup -/ spectrometer designed for Z/sup 0/ physics. The SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) has been designed to provide charged particle identification that allows pi /K/p separation up to 30 GeV/c and e/ pi separation up to 6 GeV/c. The detector was fully operational in the 1992 physics data run. The electron drift velocity and magnetic field deflection of electron trajectories have been measured. Cherenkov rings have been observed from both the liquid and gas radiators. The number and the resolution of the angle of Cherenkov photons have been determined to be approximately equal to design specifications.<
