Intersecting-storage-rings inclusive data and the charge ratio of cosmic-ray muons
Creators
Description
The (μ⁺/μ⁻) ratio at sea level has been calculated by Frazer et al., using the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation together with the inclusive data below 30 GeV/c. They obtained a value of μ⁺/μ⁻≃1.56, to be compared with experimental value of 1.2 to 1.4. We have calculated the ratio using the recent ISR (CERN Intersecting Storage Rings) data, and obtained a value of μ⁺/μ⁻∼1.40 in good agreement with the experimental result.
