A Compilation of High Energy Atmospheric Muon Data at Sea Level
read the original abstract
We collect and combine all published data on the vertical atmospheric muon flux and the muon charge ratio for muon momenta above 10 GeV. At sea level the world average of the momentum spectra agrees with the flux calculated by E.V. Bugaev et al. within 15%. The observed shape of the differential flux versus momentum is slightly flatter than predicted in this calculation. The experimental accuracy varies from 7% at 10 GeV to 17% at 1 TeV. The ratio of fluxes of positive to negative muons is found to be constant, at a value of 1.268, with relative uncertainties increasing from approximately 1% at low momenta to about 6% at 300 GeV.
