Description

Local muon density spectra (LMDS) at various zenith angles have been reconstructed from the DECOR data on inclined muon bundles detected at a ground level. In comparison with the earlier DECOR results, the experimental statistics has been increased by 2-3 times for different ranges of zenith angle and muon bundle multiplicity and is now based on about 40,000 h of the setup operation. It is found that the slope of LMDS is increasing above the primary energy of about 10^17 eV. The details of the experiment and data analysis will be presented.
