Scientific paper

Accurate calculations of the angular distributions of underground conventional and prompt muons have been performed. The dependence of the angular enhancement functions on the primary spectrum, cross-sections, inclusive distributions, K/pi ratio and survival probability have been studied and found to be negligible. The results have been used to interpret the data from the Mont Blanc experiment in the depth range 4200-5800 hg/sq cm. Since the measurements extend over a limited angular range (lesser than 60 deg) the ratio between the flux of prompt to conventional muons of higher energy (greater than 1 TeV) is obtained with large associated statistical errors. In order to obtain the charm production cross-section in the energy region 50-100 TeV, accurate measurements over a very large angular range (greater than 70 deg) at depths higher than 5000 hg/sq cm are required.
