Abstract：
At an altitude of 3220 meters above sea level in Yunnan Province, we measured, by using a G-M counter-magnetic spectrometer, the vertical integratted momentum spectrum of the cosmic muon with momentum larger than 4 GeV/c. The spectrum obtained from this experiment is expressed by a power function in the form of I（>p）=Q （p+4）^-1.86±0.06(cm^-2·sr^-1·s^-1), where p is in GeV/c and Q is a constant. We also measured the charge ratio of muon in the 4—23 GeV/c momentum range. The result is N_μ/N_μ-=1.26±0.11. The error in the momentum measurement with spectrometer has been discussed and calculated.
