Yield, response and coupling functions of the URAGAN muon hodoscope
Description
The URAGAN muon hodoscope is a gas coordinate detector that detects cosmic rays over a wide range of zenith angles. Knowledge of the yield, response, and coupling functions of the detector is required to analyze modulations of primary radiation and provide combined research with neutron monitors. The yield function is an average number of detector counts per incident primary particle. The yield function relates the count rate of the detector to the primary cosmic ray spectrum, taking into account both atmospheric cascades at the observation level and the efficiency of the detector. The dataset "yield_functions.csv" presents the muon hodoscope yield function in for primary protons and helium nuclei calculated using CORSIKA 7.7500 with FLUKA 2021.2.9 and QGSJET-II-04 models.
