Description

The GRAPES-3 experiment measures directional flux 1 GeV muons with very high precision. For a precise simulation of the measured flux of 1GeV muons in GRAPES-3, the energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays should be accurately known. We have used the data from several balloon and satellite based experiments to determine the proton and helium spectrum in the energy range from 10GV to 10TV. Since these experiments utilize different measurement techniques the results on energy spectrum were represented in different units. A detailed study has been performed to evaluate the spectral indices of proton and helium primaries in the corresponding energy ranges of 10GeV-10TeV and 20GeV-20TeV, respectively. The results of this study will be presented in the conference.
