Abstract

The design features of the OPAL jet chamber are described, such as the mechanical and electrical structure, the high-voltage system, the readout electronics, the gas system and the laser setup for calibration. Special emphasis is put on the experience gained during the construction and running-in phase of all 24 sectors of the chamber. Results from the first operation are given, during which cosmic ray data were taken and a laser mapping of the entire chamber volume has been performed.
