Abstract

We describe the design considerations and construction techniques of a large cylindrical transition radiation detector (TRD), 296 cm long and 311.4 cm in diameter, for the VENUS experiment at the e⁺e⁺ storage ring, TRISTAN. The design is based on measurements by using test chambers with e/π beams and X-ray sources. The test results will be fully described. The TRD contains four modules of radiators, each followed by an X-ray chamber with 8192 (2688) total (sense) wires. The gain calibration of all sense wires has been completed with an accuracy of 5%. The TRD is expected to provide a pion rejection ratio of 15±3 with an electron efficiency of 90% for isolated tracks with momenta above 1 GeV/c.
