Scientific paper

An antiproton search in high energy cosmic rays is reported by observing the moon shadow with the L3+C muon detector at CERN. An observation is made of a significant effect of the Earth magnetic field on the image of the moon shadow. From the absence of any event deficit on the antimatter side, an upper limit on the amount of antiprotons in cosmic rays at TeV energies is estimated. The effect is used to demonstrate the absence of any significant systematic pointing error and to confirm the good angular resolution of the experiment.
