Presentation description

Cosmic ray particles interact with Earth's atmosphere to produce extensive air showers. Their development is described by the cascade equations which cannot be solved analytically due to their complexity. Thus, MCEq is used to derive a numerical solution of the cascade equations. We used MCEq to obtain the energy spectra of atmospheric muons and daily rates for the year 2012 to study their season variations. Based on these, we analyzed the effect of different hadronic and cosmic-ray flux model assumptions. Therefore, this project provides deep insights into the calculations of atmospheric muon fluxes and the dynamics in the upper atmosphere.
