Scientific paper

On 28 May 1998 the balloon-b orne experiment CAPRICE98 was launched from Fort Sumner, New Mexico. During the three hour ascent to float altitude it recorded both positive and negative muon data in a wide momentum range from 0.3 to 20 GeV/c. We simulate the muon fluxes in several altitude bins and at ground level (885 g/cm2 ) with the 3D interaction code TARGET. This code accounts for the muon deflection in the geomagnetic field at Fort Sumner. As input for the simulation it employs the primary proton and He spectra measured by the experiment itself, thus reducing the systematic experimental uncertainties related to the absolute flux calculations.
