FLUX OF ATMOSPHERIC NEUTRINOS

Description
Summary:We have repeated a one-dimensional calculation of neutrino fluxes, including the effect of muon polarization on neutrinos from the decay of muons. Fluxes have been calculated as a function of energy and angle with cutoffs appropriate for locations of five deep nucleon-decay experiments. Overall, the e/ ratio increases by 5% (20%) for neutrinos with energies around 200 MeV (2"3 GeV), in agreement with a previous analytic estimate of the effect. © 1989 The American Physical Society.
