Sumario:After a brief overview of the ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD), we present results from tests of prototypes for this detector. By investigating the performance of various radiator materials we have established the components and the design of the final radiator. The pion rejection performance is presented for the momentum range 0.7-2 GeV/c, for different methods of analysis. The position reconstruction performance is investigated. (4 refs).
