Energy spectrum of cosmic ray muons in ∼100 TeV energy region reconstructed from the BUST data

Abstract

Inclusive differential and integral energy spectra of cosmic ray muons in the energy range from several TeV to ∼1PeV obtained by means of the analysis of multiple interactions of muons (pair meter technique) in the Baksan underground scintillation telescope (BUST) are presented. The results are compared with preceding BUST data on muon energy spectrum based on electromagnetic cascade shower measurements and depth-intensity curve analysis, with calculations for different muon spectrum models, and also with data of other experiments.
