Atmospheric MUons from PArametric formulas: a fast GEnerator for neutrino telescopes (MUPAGE)
Neutrino telescopes are opening new opportunities in observational high energy astrophysics. In these detectors, atmospheric muons from primary cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere play an important role. They provide the most abundant source of events for calibration and for testing the reconstruction algorithms. On the other hand, they represent the major background source. The simulatio...
متن کاملANIS: High energy neutrino generator for neutrino telescopes
We present the high-energy neutrino Monte Carlo event generator ANIS (All Neutrino Interaction Simulation). The program provides a detailed and flexible neutrino event simulation for high-energy neutrino detectors, such as AMANDA, ANTARES or ICECUBE. It generates neutrinos of any flavor according to a specified flux and propagates them through the Earth. In a final step neutrino interactions ar...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrino induced muons in the MACRO detector
A measurement of the flux of neutrino-induced muons using the MACRO detector is presented. Different event topologies, corresponding to different neutrino parent energies can be detected. The upward throughgoing muon sample is the larger event sample. For this sample, produced by neutrinos having an average energy around 100 GeV, the ratio of the number of observed to expected events integrated...
متن کاملFast pattern recognition trigger for atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
The ambitions to bridge the energy gap between ground based and satellite borne detectors requires to decrease the threshold of Cherenkov telescopes down to several tens of GeV. The images corresponding to such low energies and registered with high angular resolution will lead to rather complicated disconnected images. The standard second-momentum analysis will not be so effective as for images...
متن کاملAtmospheric muons and neutrinos from charm
We have updated our previous investigation of the production of muons and neutrinos in cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere, taking account of recent results from the ep collider HERA in our QCD-based model for hadronic interactions. Qualitatively, our previous results remain unmodi ed: our predictions for the conventional muon and neutrino uxes agree with earlier calculations, whereas t...
