1208.1171 (Stefano Cecchini et al.)

Atmospheric muons: experimental aspects    [PDF]

Stefano Cecchini, Maurizio Spurio
We present a review of atmospheric muon flux and energy spectrum measurements over almost six decades of muon momentum. Sea-level and underground/water/ice experiments are considered. Possible sources of systematic errors in the measurements are examinated. The characteristics of underground/water muons (muons in bundle, lateral distribution, energy spectrum) are discussed. The connection between the atmospheric muon and neutrino measurements are also reported.
