Abstract
In our research and development programme for the ICARUS experiment we have developed a novel three-dimensional readout scheme for a liquefi ed noble gas TPC, where no charge multiplication process takes place. The design avoids completely wire grids and is based on the multilayer circuit technique. As a consequence it is intrinsically safe and suit ed to be used in large and modular structures as those foreseen for IC ARUS. We describe here how the electrodes structure can be simplified leading to the new design principles and we present the results obtain ed with a small prototype chamber in a 100 GeV mu beam,
