✦ Synopsis

A large acceptance gas RICH detector is presently under construction for the spectrometer of the COMPASS Experiment. Its design para~neters are presented azld the main characteristics of the vessel, the mirrors system, the photon detectors and the front-end electronics are discussed together with some results from prototyping activities.
