PromptNuFlux

This is the development page for the PromptNuFlux project.

PromptNuFlux computes the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux $E^3\Phi ({\text{GeV}}^2/({\text{cm}}^2\text{ssr}\left)\right)$, including the total associated theory uncertainty, for a range of energies between $E={10}^3$ GeV and $E={10}^{7.5}$ GeV. The prompt flux is computed as an interpolation of the results obtained in arXiv:1511.06346.
Results are available for five different parametrizations of the input cosmic ray flux: BPL, H3P, H3A, H14a, H14b.

For usage, please see the README in the tarball.
