Abstract

The compact extensive air shower (EAS) array which consists of 8 scintillation counters, and the solid iron magnet spectrometer (the Okayama muon telescope) have been used to measure energy spectrum of muons in EAS from January 2004 in Okayama University.We compared the result of the muon energy spectrum tagged by EAS trigger signals with EAS simulations which agreed with higher energy hadronic interaction models such as QGSJET and SYBILL, and lower energy hadronic ones such as Hillas Splitting Algorithm, GHEISHA and UrQMD, in order to verify the influence of the hadronic interaction model upon properties of EAS particles, especially the energy spectrum of muons.
