586. Neutrinos, Muons and Charm Production in the Atmosphere

Mary Hall Reno (University of Iowa)

7/13/26, 2:00 PM

Speaker: Mary Hall Reno
Abstract: The role of cosmic ray-air production of charm and its decay in the high energy atmospheric neutrino and muon fluxes is discussed. We consider enhanced charm production in the atmosphere as a mechanism better match IceCube's muon flux data, and we discuss the resulting tensions with IceCube's upper bound on the atmospheric neutrino flux.

587. High-Energy Neutrino Flavor State Transition Probabilities

John Harrison

7/13/26, 3:00 PM

Speaker: John Harrison
Abstract: We analytically determine neutrino transitional probabilities and abundance ratios at various distances from the source of creation in several astrophysical contexts, including the Sun, supernovae and cosmic rays. In doing so, we determine the probability of a higher-order transition state from 𝜈_𝜏 → 𝜈_𝜆, where 𝜈_𝜆 represents a more massive generation than...
