Abstract
Large-area, high-precision drift chambers, based on the ''jet cell'' c oncept, have been developed for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS exp eriment at LHC. Emphasis is placed on the control and reduction of sys tematic error in the drift measurement and in the mechanical construct ion. Results of measurements on prototypes are given. These indicate t hat a global precision of sigma less than or similar to 70 mu m is ach ievable for large-area chambers.
