Abstract
The 1 m long and 1 m outer diameter chamber consists of 42 layers. The chamber is based on a cell of the jet type with drift distance of 30 mm. The measurements of the spatial resolution and the aging tests wer e performed with DME gas on prototypes. The resolution averaged over t he drift distance has a value of 45 mu m. The relative gain drop is eq ual to 45%/(C/cm). The design and construction of the chamber, the gas system, the laser calibration system and first results of the cosmic- ray test are discussed.
