الوصف: We obtain new presentations for the imprimitive complex reflection groups of type $(de,e,r)$ and their braid groups $B(de,e,r)$ for $d,r \ge 2$. Diagrams for these presentations are proposed. The presentations have much in common with Coxeter presentations of real reflection groups. They are positive and homogeneous, and give rise to quasi-Garside structures. Diagram automorphisms correspond to group automorphisms. The new presentation shows how the braid group $B(de,e,r)$ is a semidirect product of the braid group of affine type $\widetilde A_{r-1}$ and an infinite cyclic group. Elements of $B(de,e,r)$ are visualized as geometric braids on $r+1$ strings whose first string is pure and whose winding number is a multiple of $e$. We classify periodic elements, and show that the roots are unique up to conjugacy and that the braid group $B(de,e,r)$ is strongly translation discrete.
