Abstract
The distribution of the muon content of highly inclined Monte Carlo
cosmic ray showers is affected by the influence of Earth's geomagnetic
field. It is found that the shapes of the positive and negative muon
distributions get affected/ modified by the influence of the Earth's geomagnetic
field. Such a correlation between the earth's geomagnetic
activity and the cosmic ray (CR) air shower muons is found sensitive to
the primary cosmic ray mass composition.
