Abstract

LHAASO KM2A consists of 5915 scintillation detectors and 1188 muon detectors, and the muon detectors cover 4% area of the whole array with 30 m spacing. The muon number of air shower events, with very high energy, is investigated with the data recorded by muon detector of the 3/4 LHAASO array in 2021. The attenuation length of muon number in the air shower is measured by fitting the muon number with constant flux in various zenith angles, based on the constant intensity cut method. The variation of the attenuation length as shower energy from hundreds TeV to tens PeV is presented. The results of simulation also is presented for comparing.

Report

It is observed that in this version authors have only slightly implemented my previous report on the paper. Still I stand with my whole previous report. Authors of this paper must respect and implement fully and
effectively my previous report for recommending the paper to be published in
the proceedings of ISVHECRI 2022.
