N1 - Funding Information:
We would like to thank all staffs in the Norikura Observatory, ICRR, the University of Tokyo for their cooperation. We are indebted to M. Honda and K. Kasahara for their Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical interpretations. This experiment was supported by Grants-in-Aid from the ministry of Education, Culture, Sport, Science and Technology, MEXT. We would like to thank ISAS and KEK for their continuous support and encouragement for the BESS experiment. The analysis was performed with the computing facilities at ICEPP, the University of Tokyo.

N2 - We report new measurements of absolute fluxes of atmospheric muons at mountain altitude. The measurements were carried out with the BESS detector at the top of Mt. Norikura, 2 770 m above sea level, in Japan. The overall errors were less than 10%. The measured results are discussed in comparison with theoretical calculations.
