Terrestrial Muon Flux Measurement at Low Energies for Soft Error Studies

A large volume scintillator detector has been used to measure the terrestrial stopping muon rate under different conditions of location, altitude, shielding and weather to determine the range of variation of the low energy muon flux. About 1 year of data has been collected under different conditions. This data can then be used to compare with cosmic ray muon simulations and to estimate the soft er...
