Scientific paper

The present work summarizes the results of ground level measurements of the zenith angle distribution of muons with energy greater than 20 GeV detected by magnetic spectrometer with optical spark chambers, scintillator hodoscope trigger, and an air-gap magnet. About 300,000 pictures were analyzed in which every event was measured by an automatic flying spot digitizer. Zenith angles were covered whose cosines were in the range from 0.15 to 0.6, with a total geometry factor of about 430 sq cm sr. The events represent a running time of 590,000 seconds, and total number of muons was 49,062. No corrections were made for energy loss in the atmosphere nor for the finite accuracy of momentum measurement.
