Abstract

Summary form only given. The SLAC Large Detector (SLD) barrel Cerenkov ring imaging detector (CRID) is now complete and has participated in SLD data runs. Performance tests of the drift boxes and detectors both in the SLD and in separate test stands have been performed. Tests in SLD with the fiber-optic calibration system include the demonstration and measurement of electron drift paths, checks of the anode wire calibration, and the performance of the fiber-optic system in general. Other tests include measurements of the uniformity of TMAE concentration in a drift box and measurements of single electron diffusion and photon feedback in three drift gases.<>
