Description

The search for astrophysical neutrinos is largely limited by atmospheric neutrinos, which act as the primary background. At high energies, the prompt component from charm-hadron decays is expected to overtake the conventional atmospheric flux, owing to its harder energy spectrum. However, this prompt flux has so far escaped experimental measurement, making it one of the leading sources of uncertainty in background estimations and a crucial testing ground for hadronic interaction models. Here we investigate the potential of TRIDENT, a proposed next-generation neutrino telescope, to deliver the observation of the atmospheric prompt neutrino flux.
