The L3 detector at the CERN electron-positron collider, LEP, has been employed for the study of cosmic ray muons. The muon spectrometer of L3 consists of a set of high-precision drift chambers installed inside a magnet with a volume of about 1000m3 and a field of 0.5T. Muon momenta are measured with a resolution of a few percent at 50GeV. The detector is located under 30m of overburden. A scintillator air shower array of 54m by 30m is installed on the roof of the surface hall above L3 in order to estimate the energy and the core position of the shower associated with a sample of detected muons. Thanks to the unique properties of the /L3+C detector, muon research topics relevant to various current problems in cosmic ray and particle astrophysics can be studied.
