Abstract
The vertical sea level muon spectrum has been calculated from the recent primary cosmic ray spectrum. On assuming the validity of accelerator data in the fragmentation region for x > 0.1 in the framework of Feynman scaling and using the meson atmospheric diffusion equation we have estimated the muon flux at first generation of parents from pp → π± X, pp → K± X, πp → π± X inclusive reaction sources and second generation from pp → K± X inclusive reaction increases with muon energy.
