Formulation of muon range 0-100 TeV and transmission through lead
7-12Muons can penetrate long
distances into matter and are less susceptible to radiate effects as compared
to electrons. Over a broad energy range, the dominant energy loss is due to
ionization mechanism. This makes the shielding of muons and the knowledge of
their range considerably important at high-energy accelerators and in other
high energy applications. In the present paper, the muon range R(E)
from 0-1 GeV in lead is obtained by using muon range data which were generated
by SRIM 2012.03 code. For muon energy versus traveled distance E(X), an analytical formula is extracted
by a fitting procedure by the aid of Origin 8.0 and Find Graph softwares. For
extracting the values of R(E) in the
range 0-100TeV and E(X) for less than
100 TeV using the current method faced a limitation. This limitation is due to
maximum SRIM energy input card which is 1GeV, so the SRIM range data are used
for less than 1 GeV and the GROOM range data for above
1 GeV. In the present paper, the muon energy is calculated using this technique
at energy less than 100 TeV for arbitrary traveled distance
