Abstract
The altazimuthal counter telescope with a magnet spectrometer is able to move by servo mechanism for any azimuthal and zenith angles. It is also possible to measure the arrival timer the incident direction, the momentum and the charge sign of incident cosmic-ray muons. We report on the measurements of conventional muons at sea level in the momentum range from 1.5 to 250 GeV/c in the zenith-angular range 0-81 degrees. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
