Abstract
We present a framework for the study of muon density patterns on the ground due to showers produced in the atmosphere by cosmic rays incident at high zenith angles. As a checking procedure, predictions of a model based on suc h a framework are compared to the simulation results. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci ence B.V. All rights reserved.
