Abstract
Results of investigations of the near-horizontal muons in the range of zenith angles of 85-95 degrees are presented. In this range, so-called 'albedo' muons (atmospheric muons scattered in the ground into the upper hemisphere) are detected. Experimental data of two series of measurements obtained with the NEVOD-DECOR experimental complex with the duration of about 20 thousand hours 'live' time are analyzed. Monte Carlo simulations of multiple scattering of muons in the ground with a flat surface are performed with different models. The comparison of experimental data and simulation results shows that the main contribution to the flux of albedo muons in the range of angles q = 91-94 is given by the multiple Coulomb scattering.
