An RPC carpet covering&104m2 (ARGO-YBJ experiment) will be installed in the YangBaJing Laboratory (Tibet, People's Republic of China) at an altitude of 4300 m a.s.l. A test-module of&50m2 has been put in operation in this laboratory and about 106 air shower events have been collected. The RPC performance at high altitude and the carpet capability of reconstructing the shower features are presented. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
