A large sample of cosmic ray events collected by the CMS detector is exploited to measure the specific energy loss of muons in the lead tungstate (PbWO 4 ) of the electromagnetic calorimeter. The measurement spans a momentum range from 5 GeV/ c to 1 TeV/ c . The results are consistent with the expectations over the entire range. The calorimeter energy scale, set with 120 GeV/ c electrons, is validated down to the sub-GeV region using energy deposits, of order 100 MeV, associated with low-momentum muons. The muon critical energy in PbWO 4 is measured to be 160 + 5 − 6 ± 8 GeV, in agreement with expectations. This is the first experimental determination of muon critical energy.
