Abstract
MINOS is the first large magnetic detector deep underground and is the first to measure the muon charge ratio with high statistics in the region near 1 TeV.\cite{bib:adamson} An approximate formula for the muon charge ratio can be expressed in terms of = 115 GeV, = 850 GeV and . The implications for K production in the atmosphere will be discussed.
