Abstract
AN examination has been made of the dependence of the energy spectra of cosmic ray muons and protons at sea-level on the primary cosmic ray spectrum assuming a particular model for the interaction of high-energy nucleons. This has enabled a new estimate to be made of the primary cosmic ray intensities over a wide range of energy.
