Description
Atmospheric neutrinos are produced in interactions of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although their flux is too low for studying in Borexino, atmospheric neutrinos act as a background for other processes.
This talk presents the theoretical expected yield of atmospheric neutrinos in Borexino for three neutrino detection reactions: νp-ES, νe-ES and inverse β-decay, as well as the status of Monte-Carlo simulation for other interaction channels. Calculations were performed based on the only currently known detailed model of atmospheric neutrinos flux at very low energies.
