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.},
