Effective Solid Angle (ESA) is the solid angle which is coupled with detector geometries and configurations.
The ESA is linearly proportional to the cosmic muon count rate.
CR = rho [CR/sr] * ESA [sr] (1)
where 'rho' is the constant of proportionality. and it depends on users' detector system.
Therefore, a user will be asked to enter the muon count rate using user's muon detection system, otherwise enter "1". To learn more about "Effectvie Solid Angle Model", please read the full-length paper (below).
