目前物理界對在高能量的大氣微中子流量的估算還存在很多不確定性, 其中一個很重要的原因是我們對高能量的大氣輕子是如何生成的還是不太清楚。一般來講, 我們相信大氣微中子的通量主要可以分成兩種: 一種是‘傳統微中子通量’(conventional neutrino flux), 主要是由Pions 和Kaons所生成; 另外一種是‘魅夸克產生的微中子通量’(prompt neutrino flux), 主要是由D-mesons所生成. 因為後者的PRODUCTION PROCESS涉及到微擾量子色動力學, 所以在本文的主要目的在於重新探討NLO微擾量子色動力學(Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD)對大氣微中子流量的影響; 並且比較目前最新的parton distribution function (CTEQ 6)跟前人所用的parton distribution function (CTEQ 3)所算到的結果有何不同, 從而對parton distribution function對大氣微中子流量的影響有進一步的了解.
We discuss the calculation of the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux, which is produced by the charmed particles. By reexamining one of the charm production model—perturbative QCD, we obtain an updated result on the charm
production K-factor based upon CTEQ6 parton distribution function. The new K-factor leads to an updated result on the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux based upon next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. The effect of parton distribution function on the above flux is discussed in detail.
