ResumoThe 113-${\mathrm{m}}^{2}$ water Cherenkov detector at a depth of 1480 m (4200 m water equivalent) in the Homestake Gold Mine, Lead, South Dakota, has been used to study multiple muons with ${E}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}2.7$ TeV produced in cosmic-ray interactions by primaries of ${10}^{14}$-${10}^{15}$ eV/nucleon. The decoherence curve and multiple-muon rates are presented.
