Cosmic-rays interacting with nucleons in the solar atmosphere produce a cascade of particles that give rise to a flux of high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays. Fermi has observed this gamma-ray flux; however, the associated neutrino flux has…
Muons are the most abundant charged particles arriving at sea level originating from the decay of secondary charged pions and kaons. These secondary particles are created when high-energy cosmic rays hit the atmosphere interacting with air…

We constrain high-energy neutrino fluxes with the observed cosmic ray and gamma ray fluxes, include flavor oscillations and propagation through Earth, and show that blazars could possibly be detected by cubic-kilometer neutrino telescopes.
Using the atmospheric neutrinos to probe the density profile of the Earth depends on knowing the angular distribution of the neutrinos at production and the neutrino cross section. This paper reviews the essential features of the angular…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was operated at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 8TeV for proton-proton collisions in Run I. The CMS and ATLAS detectors both collected approximately 20 $fb^{-1}$ of 8TeV data in the data taking…
