Abstract

Sea level muon spectra at zenith angles 0°, 65° and 80° have been calculated from the primary cosmic ray spectrum of Olejniczak, Wdowczyk and Wolfendale in the spectral range 10-250 GeV. The accelerator data on pp → π± X and pp → K± X inclusive reactions at high energies have been used in the calculation of fractional hadronic energy moments. The conventional pion and kaon atmospheric diffusion equations based on the modified formulation of Judge and Nash have been used in the derivation of muon spectra at different zenith angles. The estimated muon spectra are well in accord with the magnetic spectrograph data of different authors.
