Abstract :
Presented are the main design features of the large cathode strip chambers (CSCs) for the CMS endcap muon system as well as the performance results obtained with the first large-scale prototype. The 3.4×1.2 m2 six-plane prototype has been reliably operated over one year and the cosmic-ray tests showed that it was capable of detecting muons with ∼80 μm spatial and ∼5 ns time resolutions.
