Abstract
We present an analysis of muon events with all muon multiplicities collected during 21804 h of operation of the first Large Volume Detector tower. The measured angular distribution of muon intensity has been converted to the “depth–vertical-intensity” relation in the depth range from 3 to 12 km w.e. The analysis of this relation allowed us to derive the power index γ of the primary all-nucleon spectrum: γ=2.78±0.05. The “depth–vertical-intensity” relation has been converted to standard rock and the comparison with the data of other experiments has been done. We also present the derived vertical muon spectrum at sea level.
