Abstract:
'The survival probabilities of muon after penetrating through matters are evaluated analytically by solving the diffusion equation, taking account of positron-electron pair production, bremsstrahlung and photonuclear interactions, together with ionization loss. Accuracies of the results are discussed by comparing them with those derived by a Monte Carlo method. Qualitative properties of the probability for muon are also investigated by comparing the results with those for electron taking account only of bremsstrahlung.'
