Abstract

A small air shower array of 21 detectors in conjunction with two shielded muon magnetic spectrographs has been operated for detection of muons of momentum in the range (2÷500) GeV/c at a geomagnetic latitude of 26o 45′ N at North Bengal University Campus. The array is sensitive to air showers initiated by cosmic-ray primaries of energy in the range (1014÷1016) eV. The initial results on muons with a comparison of other recent measurements have been given to infer information on the characteristics of high-energy interaction. An evaluation on the Monte Carlo simulation and observational data on muons in air showers have also been given to indicate the present status of the study of muons in air showers.
