Description

Theoretical evaluations of the high energy atmospheric neutrino and muon fluxes from cosmic ray interactions with air nuclei rely on calculations of charmed particle production and decay. Presented here is a review of approaches to charm contributions to the atmospheric lepton fluxes, including dipole models and the parton model with QCD.
