Constraints given by the atmospheric neutrino-induced muon flux on the neutrinonucleon interactions at high energies

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

It is shown that from the measured neutrino-induced muon flux we can derive constraints on the neutrino-nucleon interactions at high energies. It is pointed out that if the structure functions in the deep-inelasticvN scattering exhibit scale invariant behaviour, then the slope (c) of the totalvN cross section (σcE) is necessarily less than 0.8 in agreement with predictions of gluon-quark parton models. If intermediate vector boson exists, then at 3 standard deviationsm w > 2GeV.
