Forward charm-production models and prompt neutrinos at IceCube

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-12-05 v2

Abstract

We investigate the prompt neutrino background at IceCube, as determined from forward charm. We consider the role of intrinsic charm and of a recombination model and show that the contribution of these mechanisms is at most a factor two.
