Description

We calculate the atmospheric flux of prompt neutrinos, produced in decays of the charmed particles at energies beyond 1 TeV. Cross sections of the D mesons and Λc+ baryons production in pA and πA collisions are calculated in the phenomenological quark–gluon string model (QGSM) which is updated using recent measurements of cross sections of the charmed meson production in the LHC experiments. A new estimate of the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux is obtained and compared with the limit from the IceCube experiment, and with predictions of other charm production models.
