Abstract

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.\citebib:adamson An approximate formula for the muon charge ratio can be expressed in terms of ε_π = 115 GeV, ε_K = 850 GeV and \ec. The implications for K production in the atmosphere will be discussed.
