[SLAC] [SLAC Pubs and Reports] SLAC-PUB-9715DIRC for a Higher Luminosity B Factory Abstract The {\sc Dirc}, a novel type of Cherenkov ring imaging device, is the primary hadronic particle identification system for the $BABAR$ detector at the asymmetric B-factory {\sc Pep-II} at SLAC. It is based on total internal reflection and uses long, rectangular bars made from synthetic fused silica as Cherenkov radiators and light guides. $BABAR$ began taking data with colliding beams in late spring 1999. This paper describes the challenges for the {\sc Dirc}\ in a higher luminosity environment and shows solutions to these challenges. (Equations render on Windows, Mac OS, AIX, Linux, Solaris, and IRIX with the techexplorer plug-in.)
