Yield, response and coupling functions of the URAGAN muon hodoscope

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.URAGANμ子成像探测器（URAGAN muon hodoscope）是一款气体坐标型探测器，可在大天顶角范围内探测宇宙线。若要开展原初辐射的调制效应分析，并与中子监测器进行联合研究，需掌握该探测器的产额、响应与耦合函数。产额函数指每入射一个原初粒子所对应的探测器平均计数，它将探测器计数率与原初宇宙线能谱相关联，同时兼顾观测高度处的大气级联过程与探测器自身探测效率。 本次发布的数据集"yield_functions.csv"提供了采用CORSIKA 7.7500、FLUKA 2021.2.9及QGSJET-II-04模型计算得到的、针对原初质子与氦原子核的μ子成像探测器产额函数。
