Abstract
The forward-backward muon detector of the L3 experiment is presented. Intended to be used for LEP 200 physics, it consists of 96 self-calibr ating drift chambers of a new design enclosing the magnet pole pieces of the L3 solenoid. The pole pieces are toroidally magnetized to form two independent analyzing spectrometers. A novel trigger is provided b y resistive plate counters attached to the drift chambers. Details abo ut the design, construction and performance of the whole system are gi ven together with results obtained during the 1995 running at LEP.
