DESCRIPTION:Detailed measurements and studies of the flux of muons in the 
 atmosphere represent a subject of particularly interest. This is mainly du
 e to the fact that measurements of the muon flux in the atmosphere are ind
 irect measurements of the neutrino flux and therefore they can be used to 
 improve their calculation\, which is important for experiments that measur
 e neutrino oscillations. The comparison of fluxes of muons and other parti
 cles at different altitudes with simulated data\, is not only essential to
  predict the atmospheric neutrino flux\, but also play an important role i
 n the analysis of data taken at the very high energy air shower experiment
 s like AGASA\, HiRes and Auger. In this talk I will report a comparison be
 tween the flux of muons in the atmosphere measure by the CAPRICE98 experim
 ent and simulation performed with the air shower simulation program AIRES.
  The influence of the geomagnetic field and the uncertainties in the prima
 ry spectrum on the development of the muon flux in the atmosphere will als
 o be outlined in this talk.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1710/
