Analytical description of muon distributions at large depths
The analytical expression for integral energy spectra and zenith angle
distributions of atmospheric muons at large depths is derived. Fluctuations of
muon energy losses are described using the parametrized correction factor. The
fitting formula for the sea level muon spectrum at different zenith angles for
spherical atmosphere is proposed. The concrete calculations for pure water are
presented.Comment: Contribution to the 27th ICRC (Hamburg, August 7-15, 2001), 4 pages,
