Abstract:
We discuss muon production in extensive air showers. After giving an
outline of the general concept of high-energy muon flux calculations,
the role of the hadronic interaction model is investigated. The expected
mean muon number and it's fluctuations are presented. Their relation
to the primary cosmic ray composition and assumptions on hadronic
interactions at high energy are discussed
