Calculation of atmospheric neutrino flux

Abstract

A calculation of the fluxes of primary particles arriving to the Earth's vicinity as well as those produced in the interactions of the primaries with the atmosphere is presented. The result of calculations is compared with the experimental data obtained with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS). A good agreement of calculated and measured fluxes of charged particles supports the viability of the atmospheric neutrino flux calculation.
