We present a new version of the fast generator of atmospheric muons based on parametric formulas (MUPAGE). The parameterization of the deep sea muon flux relies on a primary Cosmic Ray flux and interaction model able to correctly reproduce the flux, the multiplicity distribution, the spatial distance between muons as measured by the underground MACRO experiment. MUPAGE produces the event kinematics of the muon bundle on the surface of a user-defined cylinder, surrounding the virtual detector. The new version improves the possibility to select the total energy of the muons bundle, and the choice of a virtual cylinder of any dimensions.

Abstract
We present a new version of the fast generator of atmospheric muons based on parametric formulas (MUPAGE). The parameterization of the deep sea muon flux relies on a primary Cosmic Ray flux and interaction model able to correctly reproduce the flux, the multiplicity distribution, the spatial distance between muons as measured by the underground MACRO experiment. MUPAGE produces the event kinematics of the muon bundle on the surface of a user-defined cylinder, surrounding the virtual detector. The new version improves the possibility to select the total energy of the muons bundle, and the choice of a virtual cylinder of any dimensions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
