Measured Absolute Muon Intensities Underwater in the Depth Range 10-175 M and the Sea Level Muon Momentum Spectrum Between 1 and 100 Gev/c
Abstract
Results are presented for the absolute intensities of muons underwater in the depth range 10-175 m. The integral sea level muon momentum spectrum in the range 1-100 GeV/c is derived from the best fit depth-intensity curve representing these measurements and is shown to be approximately 15 percent lower than the best fit spectrum of Allkofer et al. (1971) over the momentum range 1-10 GeV/c. A possible explanation for the discrepancy is presented.
