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-calibrating 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 by resistive plate counters attached to the drift chambers. Details about the design, construction and performance of the whole system are given together with results obtained during the 1995 running at LEP.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of hadronic events recorded by the L3 detector at center-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV was studied and a comparison of the data with resummed O(alpha_s^2) QCD calculations was made.

TL;DR: In this article, 1.6 million hadronic Z decays collected with the L3 detector were used to study the production of γ mesons and compare the predictions of different Monte Carlo programs.
