Single Muon Response: Tracklength

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2015-02-13 v2

Abstract

In this note we aim to infer a model for the response of a Pierre Auger water Cherenkov detector to an ideal single muon. The main goal of this analysis is to provide analytical support for muon counting techniques. In this note we derive the probability distribution of the muon tracklength as a function of the zenith angle of the muon.
