      abstract     = {This document describes the technical design and the
                      performance of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) of
                      the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR. The
                      main task of the TRD is to identify electrons above momenta
                      of 1 GeV/c and thus to extend the electron identification
                      capabilities of the Ring Image CHerenkov (RICH) detector
                      above momenta of p ~ 5 GeV/c. This identification has to be
                      achieved with a pion suppression factor of about 20 at
                      $90\%$ electron efficiency, in order to allow for a
                      measurement of dielectrons in the mass range from below the
                      rho and omega masses to beyond the J/psi mass with a good
                      signal-to-background ratio. Due to its capability of
                      identifying charged particles via their specific energy
                      loss, the TRD in addition will provide valuable information
                      for the measurement of nuclear fragments. This is in
                      particular important for the separation of, e.g, deuterons
                      and 4He, which cannot be achieved using a time-of-flight
                      measurement alone.},
