Abstract
A large acceptance gas RICH detector is presently under construction for th e spectrometer of the COMPASS Experiment. Tts design parameters are present ed and the main characteristics of the vessel, the mirrors system, the phot on detectors and the front-end electronics are-discussed together with some results from prototyping activities.
