Description
Recent experiments [1] have shown that cosmic rays cascades originate a periodic tidal frequency muon flux at the ground level. Using the Corsika (COsmic Ray SImulations for KAscade) tool kit [2], we simulate cascade scenarios, in a time scale of a year, which could be responsible for these frequencies, such as an atmospheric density variation and the incidence angle modification.
