Popis:	This paper describes and presents results of an experiment measuring the fluence and absorbed dose delivered by electron accelerator-produced muons penetrating thick iron shields. The experiment was designed to check the theoretical calculations described in the preceding paper. Nuclear track emulsions and scintillation counters were used to measure fluence and 7 LiF was used for the dose measurements. It is shown that the absorbed dose can be calculated from the fluence data by using a restricted stopping power. The results of the measurements indicate that the theoretical calculation accurately predicts the muon fluence and absorbed dose at small angles (
