Abstract content

Using data of the L3+Cosmics experiment, a preliminary measurement of the muon multiplicity distribution is presented. These are compared to Monte Carlo simulation results obtained with the CORSIKA/QGSJET code. Below the "knee" of the primary spectrum 20% more muons are observed than expected. Taking into account the uncertainty of the present primary spectrum measurements, no abnormal phenomena have been found at energies above the knee.
