Аннотация
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.One of the best ways for the investigations of the VHE muons spectrum is measuring the spectrum of stochastic energy losses (cascades). IceCube is the detector capable of measuring the cascade spectrum in the energy region between tens of TeV and one PeV where manifestation of the prompt muon production mechanisms is predicted. In events with muon bundles, the longitudinal energy deposit profile reconstructed by means of a maximum likelihood method is analyzed. Cascade energies are estimated for the events in which the highest local energy deposit is much greater than the median energy deposit. The technique of cascade spectrum reconstruction has been tested with MC-simulated events. Criteria of the event selection, cascade parameters estimation accuracy and the efficiency of the spectrum reconstruction are discussed.
