Abstract:
In this paper I presented the results obtained for the differential energy spectra of cosmic ray muons at sea level determined as a function of three zenith angles with theoretical and phenomenological models. I calculated the shower size and the number of muons per square meter as a function of the lateral distance from the center of the shower. The data interpretation provide the most significant physical information for understanding the main problems in cosmic ray physics. The problem of the energy dependence of the muon intensity at sea level is in this respect a specific goal to which the present article is devoted.
