Single muon physics with the MACRO detector
Description
The first supermodule (12 m x 12 m x 5 m) of the MACRO detector at the Gran Sasso Laboratory has been operating since the end of February 1989. About 245,000 muon triggers have been collected in the first three months of data taking in ∼1890 hours of live-time. In this paper we describe the detection features of MACRO as a muon and as a high energy muon neutrino telescope to search for high energy point sources of cosmic rays. A preliminary analysis of the collected data is presented. 10 refs., 6 figs
