Report
Theoretical models for the muon spectrum at sea level

Description
The absolute vertical cosmic ray muon spectrum is investigated theoretically. Models of high energy interactions (namely, Maeda-Cantrell (MC), Constant Energy (CE), Cocconi-Koester-Perkins (CKP) and Scaling Models) are used to calculate the spectrum of cosmic ray muons at sea level. A comparison is made between the measured spectrum and that predicted from each of the four theoretical models. It is concluded that the recently available measured muon differential intensities agree with the scaling model for energies less than 100 GeV and with the CKP model for energies greater than 200 GeV. The measured differential intensities (Abdel-Monem et al.) agree with scaling. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Es wird das absolute Myonspektrum senkrechter kosmischer Strahlung theoretisch untersucht. Es werden Modelle energiereicher Wechselwirkungen (naemlich Maeda-Cantrell (MC), Konstantenenergie (CE), Coconi-Koester-Perkins (CKP) und ein Scaling-Modell) dazu benutzt, das Spektrum der Myonen der kosmischen Strahlung fuer Normalnull zu berechnen. Es wird ein Vergleich angestellt zwischen dem gemessenen Spektrum und den Spektren, die anhand der einzelnen theretischen Modelle errechnet werden. Es wird der Schluss gezogen, dass die in letzter Zeit veroeffentlichten Messungen der Myondifferentialintensitaet fuer Energien unterhalb 100 GeV mit dem Scaling-Modell uebereinstimmen und fuer Energien oberhalb 200 GeV mit dem CKP-Modell. Die gemessenen Differentialintensitaeten (Abdel-Monem u.a.) stimmen mit dem Scaling-Modell ueberein. (orig.)Additional details
