Abstract

Multipurpose Detector of Muons (MDM) is an array of multi-wire drift chambers shielded by layers of steel absorber. The detector is designed to study the EAS muon component in the zenith angle range from 0° to 60°. To interpret the data from the detector, it is necessary to determine the threshold energy of muons and the number of secondary particles that can simulate the muon tracks. For this purpose, a detector model was developed in Geant4, and the detector response to multiparticle events from CORSIKA 7 was simulated. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the obtained simulated data.
