The neutrino cross section and upward going muons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The charged current cross section for neutrinos with energy of a few GeV is reanalysed. In this energy range the cross section for the lowest multiplicity exclusive channels is an important fraction of σCC and the approximation of describing the cross section with deep inelastic scattering formulae may be inaccurate. Possible consequences of our reanalysis of the cross section in the interpretation of the data obtained by deep underground detectors on ν–induced upward going muons (both stopping and passing) are discussed.

Study of TeV Neutrinos with Upward Showering Muons in Super-Kamiokande
A subset of neutrino-induced upward through-going muons in the Super-Kamiokande detector consists of high energy muons which lose energy through radiative processes such as bremsstrahlung, ee pair production and photonuclear interactions. These “upward showering muons” comprise an event sample whose mean parent neutrino energy is approximately 1 TeV. We show that the zenith angle distribution o...
متن کاملStudy of Upward Showering Muons in Super-Kamiokande
A small subset of neutrino-induced upward going muons in the SuperKamiokande detector consists of high energy muons that undergo radiative energy losses through bremsstrahlung, pair production and photo-nuclear interactions. The mean energy of the parent neutrinos of these showering upward muons is approximately 1 TeV, allowing the selection of a high energy sample of neutrinos. We present the ...
متن کاملNeutrino Induced Upward Going Muons from a Gamma Ray Burst in a Neutrino Telescope of Km Area
The number of neutrino induced upward going muons from a single gamma ray burst (GRB) expected to be detected by the proposed kilometer scale IceCube detector at the South Pole location has been calculated. The effects of the Lorentz factor, total energy of the GRB emitted in neutrinos and its distance from the observer (redshift) on the number of neutrino events from that GRB have been examine...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Effects in Soudan-2 Upward-stopping Muons
Upward-going stopping muons initiated by atmospheric νμ and νμ interactions in the rock below the Soudan 2 detector have been isolated, together with a companion sample of neutrinoinduced single muons, created within the detector, which travel downwards and exit. The downward-going sample is consistent with the atmospheric-neutrino flux prediction, but the upward-going sample exhibits a sizeabl...
متن کاملResults from Super-kamiokande
The results from Super-Kamiokande on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos are presented. The contained event analysis of atmospheric neutrinos shows a small value of p/e ratio and a large asymmetry in the zenith angle distribution. A distortion of zenith angle distribution is observed in the upward-through-going muons resulting from atmospheric neutrino interactions in the rock surrounding...
