Interpretation of the muon charge ratio in MINOS

Speakers

  • Dr. Maury GOODMAN

Primary authors

Abstract content

MINOS is the first large magnetic detector deep underground and is the first to measure the muon charge ratio with high statistics in the region near 1 TeV.
An approximate formula for the muon charge ratio can be expressed in terms of epsilon_pi = 115 Gev, epsilon_K = 850 GeV and E_mu times cosine theta-zenith. The implications for K production in the atmosphere will be discussed.
