Popis: The main characteristics of cathode readout multiwire proportional chambers with 760×760 mm2 active area are presented for particle loads up to 103 part./mm2·s. The following chamber characteristics were obtained: efficiency, ϵ = 99%, space resolution. δ = 0.3 mm, rms of charge ratio Q X Q Y for charges on the X- and Y-plane of one chamber, δ Q X Q Y = 7% . A description is given of chamber design and operation, calibration and detector check-up procedures, and registered charged particle coordinate reconstruction methods. Calculated dependencies for the probability of obtaining the true multitrack event coordinate on the δ Q X Q Y value are presented.
