Neutrino production and oscillation physics can be studied by utilizing the very high flux of atmospheric neutrinos observed with IceCube.
In a Cherenkov medium such as ice, atmospheric muon neutrino interactions create tracks while cascades (showers) are produced by atmospheric electron neutrinos and by neutral current interactions of all flavors.
Keywords: DeepCore, IceCube, neutrino, cascades PACS: 95.55.Vj, 14.60.Lm, 29.40.Ka, 95.85.Ry, 25.30.Pt High energy neutrino telescopes, like the IceCube neutrino observatory are sensitive to all active flavors of neutrinos.
The backgrounds for the atmospheric n -induced cascades consist of cosmic-ray muons that mimic signal events and nm CC ...
