Atmospheric muons play an important role in underwater/ice neutrino detectors. A parameterisation of the flux of single and multiple muon events, of their lateral distribution and energy spectrum is presented. The kinematics parameters were modelled starting from a full Monte Carlo simulation of the interaction of primary cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei. The parametric formulas are valid for a vertical depth of 1.5–5 km w.e. and up to 85ring operator for the zenith angle, and can be used as input for a fast simulation of atmospheric muons in underwater/ice detectors.

Abstract

Atmospheric muons play an important role in underwater/ice neutrino detectors. A parameterisation of the flux of single and multiple muon events, of their lateral distribution and energy spectrum is presented. The kinematics parameters were modelled starting from a full Monte Carlo simulation of the interaction of primary cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei. The parametric formulas are valid for a vertical depth of 1.5–5 km w.e. and up to 85ring operator for the zenith angle, and can be used as input for a fast simulation of atmospheric muons in underwater/ice detectors.
