Measurement of the muon flux in the bunker of Monte Soratte with the CRC detector

Attanasio Candela, Alfredo Cocco, Nicola D Ambrosio +10

In the context of the PTOLEMY project, the need for a site with a rather low cosmogenic induced background led us to measure the differential muon flux inside the bunker of Monte S…
