摘要：

We discuss the possible existence of an observational window, in the TeV-PeV energy range, for the detection of prompt neutrinos from the decay of charmed particles produced in cosmic-ray interactions with the atmosphere. The flux calculations for prompt muon and tau neutrinos are subject to large uncertainties, which we quantify. We investigate the interplay of the predicted fluxes with those produced by the flavor oscillation of conventional atmospheric neutrinos, and by anticipated cosmic sources. We calculate the event rates for the detection of prompt neutrinos and argue that they may be observable in a kilometer-scale neutrino telescope.
