Parametrization of the Cosmic Muon Flux for the Generator CMSCGEN

Abstract

The cosmic muon generator CMSCGEN is based on a parametrization of the differential muon flux at ground level, as obtained from the air shower simulation program CORSIKA. We present the underlying ansatz for this parameterization and provide an approximation of the momentum and angular distributions in terms of simple polynomials, in the momentum range 3 to 3000 GeV.
