Abstract
A proportional chamber with ring cathode readout is foreseen for the ALICE Time Projection Chamber. It offers low gas gain operation, lightweight cons truction and good pulse shape. The Tape Automatic Bonding (TAB) process mak es it possible to mount the VLSI analog front end electronics directly on t he back face of the multilayer board carrying the ring cathode elements, yi elding high channel density. At the same time, simulation work is done. Con struction and first results will be presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.
