Description
The atmospheric muon spectrum has been measured at sea level using a magnet spectrometer called the OKAYAMA telescope. The OKAYAMA telescope is able to point at any azimuth and zenith angle and to measure the muon energy and charge sign. We report the absolute atmospheric muon differential energy spectrum, charge ratio and azimuthal angular dependences
