In the near future, the energy region above few hundreds of TeV may really be accessible for measurements of the atmospheric muon spectrum with IceCube array. Therefore, one expects that muon flux uncertainties above 50 TeV, related to a poor knowledge of charm production cross-sections and insufficiently examined primary spectra and composition, will be diminished. We give predictions for the very high-energy muon spectrum at sea level, obtained with the three hadronic interaction models, taking into account also the muon contribution due to decays of the charmed hadrons.

Good Agreement

Using the recent ISR data of proton–proton interactions on the inclusive production of pions and nucleons, realistic values of the mean pion inelasticity Kπ and the mean nucleon inelasticity KT have been estimated. These values have been used for the derivation of the sea level differential muon spectrum from the primary nucleon spectrum and vice versa using the CKP model as an extension of the work presented in an earlier article. It is found that none of the measured primary nucleon spectra of Ryan, Ormes, and Balasubrahmanyan and Grigorov, Rapoport, and Shestoperov fit any of the precisely measured muon spectra of Ayre, Baxendale, Hume, Nandi, Thompson, and Whalley and Allkofer, Carstensen, and Dau in spectral shape or the absolute value. On the other hand good agreement between the derived muon spectra and the spectra of Allkofer et al. and Ayre et al. is found if the primary nucleon spectra of the forms, N(Ep) = (1.38 ± 0.08)Ep−2.59 and N(Ep) = (1.00 ± 0.10)Ep−2.55, respectively, are assumed. The first form is comparable with that obtained by Brooke, Hayman, Kamiya, and Wolfendale following more approximate but similar procedure. It is also not unjustified when compared with the measured primary all nuclei spectrum of Grigorov et al. in the light of suggestions made by Ellsworth, Ito, Macfall, Siohan, Streitmatter, Tonwar, Vishwanath, Yodh, and Balasubrahmanyan. By comparing the pion production spectra derived from the same primary nucleon spectrum but using the CKP and the scaling models, it is concluded that the results are sensitive to the model assumed for the collisions.

Theoretical Results

A study is made of the influence of long-term solar modulation on the low energy sea level muon spectrum near the geomagnetic equator. Recent experimental data are compared with theoretical results calculated from the phenomenological model of Allkofer and Dau. It is suggested that the observed enhancement in the muon intensity is mainly due to a shift in the solar potential.
