Abstract
The cosmic-ray induced muon flux was measured at several depths in the Pyhäsalmi mine (Finland) using a plastic scintillator telescope mounted on a trailer. The flux was determined at four different depths underground at 400Â m (980Â m.w.e), at 660Â m (1900Â m.w.e), at 990Â m (2810Â m.w.e) and at 1390Â m (3960Â m.w.e) with the trailer, and also at the ground surface. In addition, previously measured fluxes from depths of 90Â m (210Â m.w.e) and 210Â m (420Â m.w.e) are shown. A relation was obtained for the underground muon flux as a function of the depth. The measured flux follows well the general behaviour and is consistent with results determined in other underground laboratories.
