DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Xenia Troshina (National Research Nuclear University
  MEPhI\, Scientific & Educational Centre NEVOD)\nHigh-energy cosmic-ray mu
 ons penetrating deep underground undergo stochastic interactions in rock a
 nd can produce a significant secondary particle component accompanying the
  surviving muon. This effect becomes particularly important at muon energi
 es approaching the PeV range\, where radiative and photonuclear processes 
 may result in large energy transfers and production of energetic secondary
  particles. In this work\, Monte Carlo simulations of high-energy muon pro
 pagation through the rock overburden of the Gran Sasso underground laborat
 ory are performed. The characteristics of the muon and secondary particles
  emerging from the rock are studied as a function of the initial muon ener
 gy. The analysis includes the residual muon energy\, secondary-particle mu
 ltiplicity and total energy\, as well as the contributions of electrons an
 d positrons\, hadrons\, and secondary muons. Particular attention is paid 
 to the formation and evolution of the particle accompaniment generated by 
 stochastic muon interactions in the rock. The obtained results are relevan
 t for the interpretation of high-energy muon events in deep underground de
 tectors and for studies of the response of the LVD setup to the highest-en
 ergy component of the underground cosmic-ray muon flux.\n\nhttps://indico.
