Muon Flux at the Geographical South Pole

Abstract

The muon flux at the South-Pole was measured for five zenith angles, $0^{\circ }$, $15^{\circ }$, $35^{\circ }$, $82.13^{\circ }$ and $85.15^{\circ }$ with a scintillator muon telescope incorporating ice Cherenkov tank detectors as the absorber. We compare the measurements with other data and with calculations.
