A parametrization of the cosmic-ray muon flux at sea-level

Understand

Based on the standard Gaisser's formula, a modified parametrization for the sea-level cosmic-ray muon flux is introduced.

• The modification is verified against experimental results.
• The average vertical cosmic-ray muon intensity as a function of depth of standard rock is simulated using the modified formula as input to the MUSIC code.
• The calculated muon intensities is consistent with the experimental measurements.
