· Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)
The momentum spectrum of single cosmic ray muons arriving at sea level in the north--south plane at 57 deg N geomagnetic latitude was measured for near vertical incidence. Results are given which cover the momentum range 5 < p < 1000 Bev/c, and together with the earlier work of Owen and Wilson form a continuous spectrum from 0.5 to 1000 Bev/c. The high momentum work is based on 1800 particles of momentum greater than 10 Bev/c. The charge ratio of single muons arriving at sea level was measured, for near vertical incidence, to an upper momentum limit of 100 Bev/c. The measurements are compared with those of other workers and together show evidence for a maximum in the sea level charge ratio in the momentum range 3 to 7 Bev/c. (auth)
