Abstract:
Thanks to the unique properties of the L3+C detector, research topics relevant to various current problems in cosmic ray muon and astroparticle physics can be studied. A total of 12E9 cosmic ray muon triggers have been collected during the years 1999 and 2000. Some preliminary results on different subjects are presented. Among them the muon and the neutrino spectrum, the anti-proton to proton ratio at 1 TeV, the solar anisotropy, a point source search, the primary composition in the knee region, a search for high energy protons from a solar flare.
