Underground Cosmic Ray Muon Flux Estimation

Users can easily estimate the measurement time to detect necessary volume of cosmic ray muons in the shallow underground and at sea level.

Users can easily estimate the measurement time to detect necessary volume of cosmic ray muons in the shallow underground and at sea level.

This program is vaild when 0 < m.w.e < 1,000, where m.w.e stands for meter water equivalent.

Three models are used in this program to estimate cosmic muon flux.

1. Effective solid angle model [J. Bae and S. Chatzidakis (2021)]
2. Underground vertical muon intensity [Barbouti and Rastin (1983)]
3. Underground muon angular distribution [Miyake (1973)]

Users are welcome to use "Underground_muon.m".

However, please appropriately cite the above journal papers in your publication!
