Detector Depth Dependence of the High Energy Atmospheric Neutrino Flux
arXiv:hep-ex/0406072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.097301
Abstract
We note that detector depth can influence the decay path length available for the primary and secondary particles that are the source of atmospheric neutrinos. As a consequence there is a location dependent modulation to the neutrino flux, which could be as large as 5-10% in some directions.
