Description
The NA35 collaboration has constructed a time projection chamber (TPC) with a sensitive volume of 240x125x112 cm3. The chamber is operated without a magnetic field and uses pad readout only. During the 1990 run with the 32S-beam at CERN 500k events were recorded. A description of the detector is given and the performance concerning the position measuring accuracy, two-track resolution, and particle identification by ionisation measurements is discussed.
