Abstract
The temperature coefficients of the integral fluxes of cosmic-ray muons arriving at sea level vertically and horizontally with energies of 102, 104, and 3 × 106 GeV are calculated. Decays of pions, kaons, and charmed particles are considered as sources of muon generation in the atmosphere (according to current data on the generation cross sections of pions, kaons, and charmed particles in interactions between nucleons and the nuclei of atmospheric atoms, obtained in experiments on accelerators and in quantum chromodynamics models). The uncertainties in the generation cross sections of charmed particles are quite high.
