Abstract
Using the Durham spectrograph, MARS, a search for a charge asymmetry of the interactions of cosmic ray muons has been made. There is no evidence from the experiment in support of a charge asymmetry; the ratio of the interaction probability for positive muons to that of a negative muons is 1.020+or-0.031 for interactions in which two or more secondaries are recorded.Keywords
