Popis: The specific features of calculating the coupling functions for muon hodoscopes are considered. The results of calculating the main coupling functions for three versions of the primary spectra of cosmic rays (CR)—galactic CR, solar CR during proton events, and galactic CR variations during Forbush decreases-are presented. The calculations have been performed based on modeling CR propagation through the Earth’s atmosphere using the CORSIKA code. The mean and median CR energies, contributing to the muon detector counting rate, have been calculated for different zenith angles. It has been shown that muon detectors are sensitive to different energies of primary CRs for different directions.
