Abstract
The L3+C experiment combines the high precision spectrometer of the L3 dete ctor at LEP, CERN, with a small air shower array. The momenta of the cosmic ray induced muons can be measured from 20 to 2000 GeV/c. During the 1999 d ata taking period 5 billion muon events were recorded in the spectrometer. From April to November, 2000, an additional 6.8 billion muon events have be en recorded as well as 33 million air shower events. Here the first results on the muon momentum spectrum and charge ratio will be presented.
