A calculation of atmospheric neutrino-induced backgrounds in the IMB detector
Description
The authors developed a model of atmospheric ν interactions which provide the backgrounds to nucleon decay experiments. They report results from a 417 live-day exposure of the IMB detector. During this time 401 contained events were observed at a rate and with characteristics consistent with atmospheric ν interactions. The authors calculated the expected backgrounds to a variety of two- and three-body decay modes and have set background subtracted lower limits of many nucleon partial lifetimes
