 | 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 | Measuring the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux with down-going muons in neutrino telescopes | In the TeV energy region and above, the uncertainty in the level of prompt atmospheric neutrinos would limit the search for diffuse astrophysical neutrinos. We suggest that neutrino telescopes may provide an empirical determination of the flux of prompt atmospheric electron and muon neutrinos by mea... | Neutrino telescopes; Prompt flux | 2003-01 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Indirect detection of dark matter in km-size neutrino telescopes | Neutrino telescopes of kilometer size are currently being planned. They will be two or three orders of magnitude larger than presently operating detectors, but they will have a much higher muon energy threshold. We discuss the trade-off between area and energy threshold for indirect detection of ne... | Neutrino telescopes; Energy threshold; Neutralino annihilations; Supersymmetric models | 1999 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Indirect neutralino detection rates in neutrino telescopes | Neutralinos annihilating in the center of the Sun or the Earth may give rise to a detectable signal of neutrinos. We derive the indirect detection rates for neutrino telescopes in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. We show that even after imposing all phenomenological and e... | Neutralinos; Neutrino telescopes; Relic density; Annihilations | 1997-02 |

 | 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 |
