In this study, the energy depositions caused by cosmic muons with energies of 2, 3 and 4 GeV were investigated using FLUKA simulation program. The energy depositions were examined in Pb, Cr, Fe, Sb, and Ni metals with dimensions of 100x100 cm2, and thicknesses of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 cm. The simulations revealed that cosmic muons of different energy levels have varied impacts on the energy deposition. Furthermore, the effect of the metal type and thickness on the deposited energy values was investigated and it was observed that it increased proportionally depending on the thickness.
