Development of a detector system for measurement of zenith angular differential spectra of low-energy terrestrial cosmic-ray muon
- 1. Kyushu University, Department of Advanced Energy Engineering Science, Fukuoka (Japan)
Description
We have developed a muon detector system consisting of plastic scintillators to measure the energy spectrum of secondary cosmic-ray muons in the low energy range from 15 to 340 MeV. The experiment with the detector system was conducted at Chikushi Campus of Kyushu University in Japan. The measured flux was in good agreement with that measured by Allkofer in 1971 above 300 MeV, while the prediction by EXPACS underestimated the newly measured data as well as the Allkofer's data in the energy range less than 1 GeV.
