 | Gondolo, Paolo | Measurement of the gluon parton distribution function at small x with neutrino telescopes | We analyze the possibility that neutrino telescopes may provide an experimental determination of the slope λ of the gluon distribution in the proton at momentum fractions x smaller than the accelerator reach. The method is based on a linear relation between λ and the spectral index (slope) of th... | Neutrino telescopes; Charm | 2001-01 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Prompt atmospheric neutrinos and muons: dependence on the gluon distribution function | We compute the next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the vertical flux of atmospheric muons and neutrinos from decays of charmed particles, for different PDF's (MRS-R1, MRS-R2, CTEQ-4M and MRST) and different extrapolations of these at a small partonic momentum fraction x. We find that the predi... | Neutrino telescopes; Charm; Atmospheric flux; Prompt flux | 2000-02 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Prompt atmospheric neutrinos and muons: NLO vs LO QCD predictions | We compare the leading and next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the flux of atmospheric muons and neutrinos from decays of charmed particles. We find that the full NLO lepton fluxes can be approximated to within ~10% by the Born-level fluxes multiplied by an overall factor of 2.2-2.4, which d... | Atmospheric flux; Prompt flux; Charm | 2000-01 |
