Muon and Muon Neutrino Fluxes from Atmospheric Charm
Abstract
The charm contribution to the atmospheric fluxes of muons and muon neutrinos may be enhanced by as much as a factor of 10 when one includes the contributions of D->pi,K->leptons and folds in uncertainties in the charm cross section and energy distribution. In the energy range considered here, from 100 GeV to 10 TeV, the charm contribution is small compared to the conventional flux of muons and muon neutrinos.
