Abstract
Changes in cosmic-ray muon and nucleon fluxes caused by variations in atmospheric conditions were investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theory was based on the strong bootstrap version of the statistical thermodynamic model for the nucleon-nucleus collisions. A new multiplicity function was introduced in the model. This function takes into account the kinematic limitations stated by the inclusive produced particles for the mass of the parent fireball and allows the production of light hadrons with different masses. The computed predictions for the regression coefficients describing changes in muon fluxes at sea level are in satisfactory agreement with experimental values obtained by means of a scintillator telescope and radio-sonde measurements.
