The new Small Angle Tile Calorimeter (STIC) covers the forward regions in DELPHI. The main motivation for its construction was to achieve a systematic error of 0.1% on the luminosity determination. This detector consists of a ''shashlik'' type calorimeter, equipped with two planes of silicon pad detectors placed respectively after 4 and 7.4 radiation lengths. A veto counter, composed of two scintillator planes, covers the front of the calorimeter to allow e-gamma separation and to provide a neutral energy trigger. The physics motivations for this project, results from extensive testbeam measurements and the performance during the 1994 LEP run are reported here.

Abstract
The new Small Angle Tile Calorimeter (STIC) covers the forward regions in DELPHI. The main motivation for its construction was to achieve a systematic error of 0.1% on the luminosity determination. This detector consists of a ''shashlik'' type calorimeter, equipped with two planes of silicon pad detectors placed respectively after 4 and 7.4 radiation lengths. A veto counter, composed of two scintillator planes, covers the front of the calorimeter to allow e-gamma separation and to provide a neutral energy trigger. The physics motivations for this project, results from extensive testbeam measurements and the performance during the 1994 LEP run are reported here.
