Abstract
The fluxes of neutrino induced muons at different zenith angles have been calculated using the high energy diffused neutrino spectra emitted from blazars. We have used the standard formulation developed by Gaisser based on charge-current interactions in rock and the QED-based energy loss formulation to estimate the spectra of neutrino induced muons. The energy spectra of neutrino flux generated from blazars has been taken from the model calculations of Protheroe. The latest charge-current and total interaction cross-sections at ultrahigh energies from Kwiecinski et al. have been used to find the probability of muon generation from neutrinos and the loss of neutrinos during propagation through the Earth. We find that our derived horizontal neutrino induced muon energy spectra expected from blazar model of Protheroe is comparable with the upper limits as predicted by SOUDAN 2 experiment.
