Abstract
The charge ratio, Rµ = Nµ+/Nµ, for cosmogenic multiple-muon events observed at an underground depth of 2070 mwe has been measured using the MINOS Far Detector. The multiple-muon charge ratio is determined to be Rµ. = 1.104 ±0.006(stat.)+00009010(syst.). This measurement serves to constrain models of cosmic ray interactions at TeV energies.
