Muon Simulations for Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND and CHOOZ
arXiv:hep-ph/0604078 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.74.053007
Abstract
Muon backgrounds at Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND and CHOOZ are calculated using MUSIC. A modified version of the Gaisser sea level muon distribution and a well-tested Monte Carlo integration method are introduced. Average muon energy, flux and rate are tabulated. Plots of average energy and angular distributions are given. Implications on muon tracker design for future experiments are discussed.
