abstract = {The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) was designed and
built to enhance the capabilities of the ALICE detector at
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While aimed at providing
electron identification and triggering, the TRD also
contributes significantly to the track reconstruction and
calibration in the central barrel of ALICE. In this paper
the design, construction, operation, and performance of this
detector are discussed. A pion rejection factor of up
to 410 is achieved at a momentum of 1 GeV/ c in p–Pb
collisions and the resolution at high transverse momentum
improves by about $40\%$ when including the TRD information
in track reconstruction. The triggering capability is
demonstrated both for jet, light nuclei, and electron
selection.},
