Description

Cosmic muon flux and its angular distribution have been measured using Resistive Plate Chamber(RPC) at Kolkata (22° 36' 6.71" N, 88° 25' 7.89" E) at 8 m elevation. Zenith angle was varied upto 90 degree in clockwise and 90 degree in anticlockwise direction with respect to zenith direction. The similar scenario was also simulated using cosmic flux following cosnθ distribution. Experiment and simulated result were compared. Details of the measurement technique along with simulation result will be presented.
