Abstract

The muon intensities in sea-water depths up to 1400 M.W.E. have been derived from a recent primary cosmic ray spectrum. The scaling hypothesis of Feynman has been used in the calculation of meson spectra in the atmosphere. The range-energy relation for muons in sea water, used in the present work, accounts for the muon energy loss in sea water due to collisions, pair production, bremsstrahlung and nuclear interactions. The calculated muon range spectrum in sea water is well in accord with the experimental data obtained by Higashi et al. (1966), Davitaev et al. (1969), and Rogers and Tristam (1981, 1983
