Abstract:

We measure muon intensities at sea level by using the OKAYAMA cosmic-ray telescope in detail. Measured muons are also contained in the low-momentum region where they are strongly affected by geomagnetic field effects including the east-west effect. We report the zenith and azimuthal angular dependence of conventional muons in the momentum range 1.5-250 GeV/c in the zenith angular range .
