Popis: The end cap detector based on multimodule construction has been designed and produced for the L3 experiment. The purpose of this article is to present a fruitful approach for solving the complex problem of selecting a set of strongly interrelated design parameters to satisfy performance criteria in the face of severe environmental and space constraints. The design principle of the end cap drift chamber affected by a complex of external problems caused by the layout is reviewed. It is shown that in the framework of detailed consideration of each parameter, a good space–time linearity, spatial and angular resolution is obtainable. The results of experimental tests are presented.
