Investigation of the Muon Pseudorapidities in EAS with the Muon Tracking Detector of the KASCADE Experiment

摘要

High angular accuracy of muon track measurements in KASCADE Muon Tracking Detector (MTD),together with the high precision in determination of the shower direction and shower core position,allow to investigate the pseu-dorapidity of muons in EAS using the concept of radial and tangential angles.Preliminary results of the pseudorapidity distribution of muons registered by the KASCADE experiment are presented.Mean muon pseudorapidity values at different stages of the longitudinal development of the EAS cascade are calculated using additionally the reconstructed muon production height provided by the MTD data.Experimental results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
