Abstract

Theoretical calculation of the vertical intensity of atmospheric muons as a function of depth under Kolar rock has been done. The recently estimated muon energy spectrum has been used in this analysis. The derived muon range spectrum is in accord with the recent experimental Kolar Gold Field depth-intensity results surveyed by Krishnaswamy et al. The procedure of Miyake, Narasimham and Ramanamurthy has been used for the correction of muon intensity at great depth due to range fluctuations.
