Abstract :
Thin Gap Gas Chambers have been proposed for an upgrade of the endcaps of the DELPHI detector at LEP. Two full size chambers have been built and a study of the optimal operating conditions has been carried out. In this paper the main construction parameters are discussed and test results are given. Tests of the electronic readout were performed and the general feasibility of the detector is demonstrated
