Zenith-Angle Dependence of Local Muon Density Spectra of Extensive Air Shower near the Horizon
The integral local muon density spectra (LMDS) of (extensive air shower) EAS at large zenith angles were reconstructed on the basis of the DECOR experimental data on muon bundles detected in a long-term measurement series from May 3, 2012, to April 7, 2023. The results were obtained at two threshold muon density values of 0.015 and 0.068 particles/m2, which corresponded to the detection of bundles with a multiplicity of at least 3 and at least 5 muons in the detector. At zenith angles less than 80°, the zenith-angle dependence of LMDS is well described by a power function of the cosine of the zenith angle. However, with a further increase in the zenith angle, this dependence changes significantly, and at angles of 87°–88°, the measured values exceed the specified simple extrapolation by about an order of magnitude. This is due to the inapplicability of the flat atmosphere approximation at such angles. A simple equation was obtained that takes into account the curvature of the Earth’s atmosphere.
