Abstract
The various methods by which the problem of range fluctuations of muons underground can be solved are discussed. Using an analytical solution due to Nishimura, curves are derived from which the enhancement factor due to fluctuations of the underground muon intensity can quickly be obtained, for a wide range of values of the muon energy loss parameters. A survey is given of previously published work in this field and discrepancies are resolved.Keywords
