We report new measurements of the atmospheric muons at mountain altitude. The measurement was carried out with the BESS detector at the top of Mt. Norikura, Japan. The altitude is 2,770 m above sea level. Comparing our results and predictions given by some interaction models, a further appropriate model has been investigated. These studies would improve accuracy of atmospheric neutrino calculations.

Measurement of cosmic-ray proton, antiproton and muon spectra was carried out at mountain altitude. We observed 2 x 10^5 protons and 10^2 antiprotons in a kinetic energy region of 0.25 -- 3.3 GeV. Zenith-angle dependence of proton fluxes was obtained . Atmospheric muon spectra were measured simultaneously. The observed antiproton spectrum showed some deviation from theoretical predictions particularly in a low energy region.
Cosmic-ray proton and antiproton spectra were measured at mountain altitude, 2770 m above sea level. We observed more than 2 x 10^5 protons and 10^2 antiprotons in a kinetic energy range between 0.25 and 3.3 GeV. The zenith-angle dependence of proton flux was obtained. The observed spectra were compared with theoretical predictions.

The cosmic-ray proton, helium, and muon spectra at small atmospheric depths of 4.5 -- 28 g/cm^2 were precisely measured during the slow descending period of the BESS-2001 balloon flight. The variation of atmospheric secondary particle fluxes as a fun ction of atmospheric depth provides fundamental information to study hadronic interactions of the primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere.
We present a new measurement of air shower muons made during atmospheric ascent of the High Energy Antimatter Telescope balloon experiment. The muon charge ratio mu+ / mu- is presented as a function of atmospheric depth in the momentum interval 0.3-0 .9 GeV/c. The differential mu- momentum spectra are presented between 0.3 and about 50 GeV/c at atmospheric depths between 13 and 960 g/cm^2. We compare our measurements with other recent data and with Monte Carlo calculations of the same type as those used in predicting atmospheric neutrino fluxes. We find that our measured mu- fluxes are smaller than the predictions by as much as 70% at shallow atmospheric depths, by about 20% at the depth of shower maximum, and are in good agreement with the predictions at greater depths. We explore the consequences of this on the question of atmospheric neutrino production.
We present a new measurement of atmospheric muons made during an ascent of the High Energy Antimatter Telescope balloon experiment. The muon charge ratio mu+/mu- as a function of atmospheric depth in the momentum interval 0.3-0.9 GeV/c is presented. The differential mu- intensities in the 0.3-50 GeV/c range and for atmospheric depths between 4-960 g/cm^2 are also presented. We compare these results with other measurements and model predictions. We find that our charge ratio is ~1.1 for all atmospheric depths and is consistent, within errors, with other measurements and the model predictions. We find that our measured mu- intensities are also consistent with other measurements, and with the model predictions, except at shallow atmospheric depths.
