Seasonal Variations of the Atmospheric Neutrino Flux measured in IceCube
Seasonal Variations of the Atmospheric Neutrino Flux measured in IceCube
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory measures high energy atmospheric neutrinos with high statistics. These atmospheric neutrinos are produced in cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, mainly by the decay of pions and kaons. The rate of the measured neutrinos is affected by seasonal temperature variations in the stratosphere, which are expected …
