Sea level muon spectrum derived from the Goddard Space Flight Centre measured nucleon spectrum using the Cocconi–Koester–Perkins model
Keyword(s):
The sea level muon spectrum is estimated from the Goddard Space Flight Centre group measured nucleon spectrum by using the model of Cocconi, Koester, and Perkins (CKP). The derived muon spectrum agrees well with the magnetic spectrograph data of Ayre, Baxendale, Hume, Nandi, Thompson, and Whalley when the energy dependence of pion inelasticity (Kπ) in the CKP model is assumed in the pion energy range 10–500 GeV. Above 50 GeV pion energy (Eπ) the pion inelasticity follows the relation Kπ = 0.1 ln Eπ.
