Ground Level Muon Flux Variation in a Cosmic Rays Simulation

Abstract

The oscillatory movements of atmospheric air masses has been claimed to be the origin of the muon flux variation measured at the ground level. Using a cosmic ray toolkit (CORSIKA), we simulate cascade scenarios in a time scale of a year and show the dependence of the muon flux pattern with a proposed oscillatory model atmosphere.
