Muon Flux at the Geographical South Pole

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 calcul...
