Resumen o descripción
"ALICE is one of the four main experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The
location of ALICE detector allows the study the muonic component of cosmic-rays, since
it is located 52 meters underground with 28 meters of rock above it. The ALICE detector
is able to detect atmospheric muons from extensive air showers, making possible the study
of cosmic-rays physics. At this depth, only atmospheric muons with energies greater
than 16 GeV can reach the detection zone of ALICE. A study of cosmic charge ratio is
presented for events of atmospheric showers collected in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 by the
ALICE experiment. The whole data sample corresponds to 62.5 days of data taking. The
analysis of the multiplicity distribution of atmospheric muons reconstructed by the Time
Projection Chamber (TPC) of ALICE is also presented. The rate of high muon multiplicity
events (number of muons >100) was estimated and compared with the predictions given
by QGSJET-II-04, SIBYLL and EPOS-LHC."
