The ARGO-YBJ esperiment is devoted to the study of may issues in gamma-astronomy and cosmic ray physics. The apparatus design is based on Resistive Plate Chambers operated in streamer mode and assembled in a single layer, fully covering a surface of 78 x 74 square meters (the surface beccomes 110 x 110 square meters taking into account a partially instrumented ring). The mounting of the detector is going on in the YangBaJing Laboratory (Tibet, China) at 4300 m above the sea level. The present status of the experiment, the performances of the detector and some preliminary analysis of data will be presented.
