The designs of many neutrino experiments rely on calculations of the background rates arising from cosmic-ray muons at shallow depths. Understanding the angular dependence of low momentum cosmic-ray muons at the surface is necessary for these calculations. Heuristically, from examination of the data, a simple parameterization is proposed, based on a straighforward scaling variable. This in turn, allows a universal calculation of the differential muon intensity at the surface for all zenith angles and essentially all momenta.

The HiSPARC Experiment
HiSPARC's school-based scintillator stations detect cosmic-ray air showers, reconstruct directions with about 6 to 8 degree uncertainty, and produce a rough energy spectrum whose slope is close to the known cosmic-ray...
