Abstract

The LHAASO (Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory) experiment is a multi-purpose experiment for gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic ray physics and for many other tasks. The tasks number will be undoubtedly extended in future. We have recently proposed to use existing WCDA (Water Cherenkov Detector Array) as a pair-meter to measure atmospheric muon energy spectrum. This work allows us to claim that WCDA can serve as almost an ideal pair-meter to study near-horizontal atmospheric muons with energy beyond ~10 TeV.

利用LHAASO实验的WCDA探测器作为对计测量大气介子谱的可能性

LHAASO（大型高空空气阵雨天文台）实验是一个多用途的实验，用于伽马射线天文学，宇宙射线物理学和许多其他任务。未来的任务数量无疑会增加。我们最近提出利用现有的水切伦科夫探测器阵列（WCDA）作为测量大气介子能谱的对计。这项工作使我们能够声称WCDA几乎可以作为一个理想的对计来研究能量超过~10 TeV的近水平大气μ子。
