“…At the lower latitudes, the observed muon flux is given in [10]- [14]. The result from [11] shows higher muon flux though the latitude and P c are comparable with results from other lower latitudes. The present result is compared with [10,12] and [14]; the P c for the present site is slightly higher (∼ 14-27%) than the other two ( [10] and [14]).…”

The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) collaboration is planning to setup a magnetized Iron-CALorimeter (ICAL) to study atmospheric neutrino oscillations with precise measurements of oscillations parameters. The ICAL uses 50 kton iron as target mass and about 28800 Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) of 2 m × 2 m in area as active detector elements. As part of its R&D program, a prototype detector stack comprising 12 layers of RPCs of 1 m × 1 m in area has been setup at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) to study the detector parameters using cosmic ray muons. We present here a study of muon flux measurement at sea level and lower latitude. (Site latitude: 18 • 54 ′ N, longitude: 72 • 48 ′ E.

Abstract-High-statistics data on near-horizontal muons collected with Russian-Italian coordinate detector DECOR are analyzed. Precise measurements of muon angular distributions in zenith angle interval from 60 • to 90 • have been performed. In total, more than 20 million muons are selected. Dependences of the absolute integral muon intensity on zenith angle for several threshold energies ranging from 1.7 GeV to 7.2 GeV are derived. Results for this region of zenith angles and threshold energies have been obtained for the first time. The dependence of integral intensity on zenith angle and threshold energy is well fitted by a simple analytical formula.
