Description
The sea level muon spectrum is estimated from a measured nucleon spectrum by using the model of Cocconi, Koester, and Perkins (CKP). The derived muon spectrum agrees well with previous magnetic spectrograph data when the energy dependence of pion inelasticity (Ksub(π)) in the CKP model is assumed in the pion energy range 10-500 GeV. Above 50 GeV pion energy (Esub(π)) the pion inelasticity follows the relation Ksub(π) = 0.1 ln Esub(π). (author)
