Using the L3+C detector at CERN, correlations between densities of energetic muons underground and EAS charged particles at the surface have been measured in the energy range of 0.1 to 10 PeV. The comparison of these two densities is known to provide relevant information to the understanding of the primary interaction. The measurements are compared with predictions from the high energy interaction models DPMJET, QGSJET, SIBYLL, and VENUS, using CORSIKA as a transport code, and proton and iron primary cosmic rays. A significant excess of the measured muon densities has been observed when compared with model predictions under the assumption of a primarily light composition in this energy region.
