Abstract

A survey is made to determine what information is provided by the intensity-depth relation of cosmic rays underground on the possibly anomalous character of the μ-meson magnetic moment. Energy losses due to ionization, bremsstrahlung and electron pair creation by normal and anomalous Dirac particles are discussed. It is concluded that if the magnetic moment in terms of the Bohr magneton is µ0(1+δ), the only limitation provided by present experience at depths of 3000 mw.e. or less is |δ|≲1.
