High-energy Atmospheric Muon Flux Expected at India-Based Neutrino Observatory
arXiv:0710.3125 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X08041268
Abstract
We calculate the zenith-angle dependence of conventional and prompt high-energy muon fluxes at India-Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) depth. This study demonstrates a possibility to discriminate models of the charm hadroproduction including the low-x QCD behaviour of hadronic cross-sections relevant at very high energies.
