| Summary: | After an investigation of the well-known basic properties of muons conducted by the standard model (SM), this paper presents the results obtained for the phase space reconstruction, for the correlation dimension and for the largest Lyapunov exponent of a muon time series detected for a period of about three years (2019–2021) in an Italian laboratory at the sea level. These results confirm that the dynamics of such a time series is chaotic in nature, and therefore open new perspectives in the study of cosmic rays. In the following studies, we will explore if such muon time series have a mono- or a multifractal regime with a complete analysis of all the parameters that usually involve such studies. |
