Abstract
Using the most recent PDFs and the cosmic ray spectrum, we evaluate the charm/bottom induced prompt atmospheric muon neutrino fluxes including nuclear corrections. We investigate their impact in perturbative QCD and estimate the comprehensive uncertainties from other various factors. The prompt atmospheric tau neutrino fluxes are also presented.
Highlights
Atmospheric neutrinos produced from cosmic ray interactions with nuclei in the atmosphere are the main background to the astrophysical neutrinos
Using the most recent parton distribution function (PDF) and the cosmic ray spectrum, we evaluate the charm/bottom induced prompt atmospheric muon neutrino fluxes including nuclear corrections
Atmospheric neutrinos can be classified into two types of components according to the hadrons produced in the cosmic ray and air nuclei collisions and decay to neutrinos: conventional neutrinos from the pion and kaon decay and prompt neutrinos from the heavy quark contained hadrons
