Abstract
Muons recorded by the IMB proton decay detector during the radio outbu rst from Cygnus X-3 in January 1991 are studied. Data are examined for both aperiodic excesses and those phase modulated at the x-ray period of Cygnus X-3. No correlation between the muon data and Cygnus X-3 is found. Further, this observation provides flux limits of PHI90% C.L. less-than-or-equal-to 2 x 10(-10) mu cm-2s-1 at 1570 meters of water e quivalent on the 20th and 23rd, in contrast with other reported signal s.
