Abstract
The sea-level muon and proton spectra were computed by using Hagedorn's model for the production of nucleons, pions and kaons in nucleon-nucleus collisions. The multiplicities and partial inelasticities of these particles were calculated in the range (5÷40000) GeV of proton laboratory energy. The predicted muon and proton spectra show agreement ((0÷20)%) with recent measurements in the range (5÷5000) GeV. Thus Hagedorn's model is very useful in cosmic-ray physics. The results also confirm the absolute primary nucleon spectrum which was built up for this purpose from two recent experimental spectra.
