Muon Bundles

An experiment on the measurements of the energy deposit of inclined cosmic ray muon bundles is being conducted at the experimental complex NEVOD (MEPhI). The complex includes the Cherenkov water calorimeter with a volume of 2000 m3 and the coordinate-tracking detector DECOR with a total area of 70 m2. The DECOR data are used to determine the local muon densities in the bundle events and their arrival directions, while the energy deposits (and hence the average muon energy loss) are evaluated from the Cherenkov calorimeter response. Average energy loss carries information about the mean muon energy in the bundles. The detection of the bundles in a wide range of muon multiplicities and zenith angles gives the opportunity to explore the energy range of primary cosmic ray particles from about 10 to 1000 PeV in the frame of a single experiment with a relatively small compact setup. Experimental results on the dependence of the muon bundle energy deposit on the zenith angle and the local muon density are presented and compared with expectations based on simulations of the EAS muon component with the CORSIKA code.

Analytical Expressions

The differential cross section for the production of electron pairs by muons has been obtained under the assumption that all particles are relativistic and that the Thomas–Fermi model can be used to evaluate the effect of screening. Analytical expressions have been obtained for the energy loss of muons by pair production for the two extreme cases of "no screening" and "complete screening". Results of numerical calculation of energy loss by this process are given as a function of muon energy, for rock with Z = 11.

IceCube is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov telescope operating at the South Pole. Its goal is to detect astrophysical neutrinos and identify their sources. High-energy muon neutrinos are identified through the secondary muons produced via charge current interactions with the ice. The present bestperforming directional reconstruction of the muon track is a maximum likelihood method which uses the arrival time distribution of Cherenkov photons registered by the experiment’s photomultipliers. Known systematic shortcomings of this method are to assume continuous energy loss along the muon track, and to neglect photomultiplier-related effects such as prepulses and afterpulses. This work discusses an improvement of about 20% to the muon angular resolution of IceCube and its planned extension, IceCube-Gen2. In the reconstruction scheme presented here, the expected arrival time distribution is now parametrized by a predetermined stochastic muon energy loss pattern. The inclusion of pre- and afterpulses modelling in the PDF has also been studied, but no noticeable improvement was found, in particular in comparison to the modification of the energy loss profile.

Water Depths

The muon intensities in sea-water depths up to 1400 M.W.E. have been derived from a recent primary cosmic ray spectrum. The scaling hypothesis of Feynman has been used in the calculation of meson spectra in the atmosphere. The range-energy relation for muons in sea water, used in the present work, accounts for the muon energy loss in sea water due to collisions, pair production, bremsstrahlung and nuclear interactions. The calculated muon range spectrum in sea water is well in accord with the experimental data obtained by Higashi et al. (1966), Davitaev et al. (1969), and Rogers and Tristam (1981, 1983
