Prompt Atmospheric Neutrinos: Phenomenology and Implications
C. G. S. Costa, C. Salles
We present an overview of the phenomenology of prompt neutrinos produced in the atmosphere by the decay of charmed particles. In face of the great activity involving operational an…
The prompt TeV-PeV atmospheric neutrino window
C. G. S. Costa, F. Halzen, C. Salles
We discuss the possible existence of an observational window, in the TeV-PeV energy range, for the detection of prompt neutrinos from the decay of charmed particles produced in cos…
The prompt lepton cookbook
C. G. S. Costa
We review the calculation of the prompt lepton flux, produced in the atmosphere by the semileptonic decay of charmed particles. We describe side by side the intermediary ingredient…
Particle Production in Very High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Emulsion Chamber Events: Usual and Unusual Events
C. G. S. Costa, F. Halzen, C. Salles
We show that a simple scaling model of very forward particle production, consistent with accelerator and air shower data, can describe all features of the very high-energy interact…
