Uncertainties on Atmospheric Neutrino Flux Calculations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The strong evidence of new physics coming from atmospheric neutrino experiments has motivated a series of critical studies to test the robustness of the available flux calculations. In view of a more precise determination of the parameters of new physics, new and more refined flux calculations are in progress. Here we review the most important sources of theoretical uncertainties which affect these computations, and the attempts currently under way to improve them.
