Description
MINOS is the first large magnetic detector deep underground and is the first to measure the muon charge ratio with high statistics in the region near 1 TeV. An approximate formula for the muon charge ratio can be expressed in terms of επ = 115 GeV, εK = 850 GeV and Eμsurface cos θ. The implications for K production in the atmosphere will be discussed.
