Effect of primary nuclei composition on the response functions for cosmic-ray muons

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

The integral response functions for cosmic-ray muons, at different muon threshold energies, are calculated by taking into account the nuclear composition of the primary cosmic radiation, and showing their contribution also at large zenith angles.

Riassunto

Sono state calcolate le funzioni di risposta dei muoni della radiazione cosmica per differenti energie di soglia, introducendo la composizione nucleare della radiazione cosmica primaria e valutando il suo contributo anche a grandi angoli zenitali.

Резуме

Вычисллутся функции интегрального отклика для муонов космического излучения при различных пороговых энергиях муонов, учитывая ядерний состав первичного космического излучения и оценивая их вклад при вольших зенитных углах.
