Muon Flux at the Geographical South Pole X.Bai a,1 T.K.Gaisser a A.Karle b K.Rawlins b,2 G.M.Spiczak a,3

The muon flux at the South-Pole was measured for five zenith angles, 0 ◦ , 15 ◦ , 35 ◦, 82.13 ◦ and 85.15 ◦ with a scintillator muon telescope incorporating ice Cherenkov tank detectors as the absorber. We compare the measurements with other data and with calculations. Key words: muon flux, scintill...
