✦ Synopsis

The contemporaneous measurement of TeV muons in deep underground laboratories and of the e.m. component at the surface allows checking the hadron interaction models and the propagation codes used in EAS experiments in a primary energy range 10-50 TeV in which the primary spectra are measured by direct experiments.

First results of such measurements between MACRO and EAS-TOP at the Gran Sasso laboratory, in this energy range, are here reported.
