Calculation of the Flux of Atmospheric Neutrinos
Atmospheric neutrino-fluxes are calculated over the wide energy range from 30
MeV to 3,000 GeV for the study of neutrino-physics using the data from
underground neutrino-detectors. The atmospheric muon-flux at high altitude and
at sea level is studied to calibrate the neutrino-fluxes at low energies and
high energies respectively. The agreement of our calculation with observations
is satisfactory. The uncertainty of atmospheric neutrino-fluxes is also
studied.Comment: 51 page
Baryons: What, When and Where?
We review the current state of empirical knowledge of the total budget of
baryonic matter in the Universe as observed since the epoch of reionization.
Our summary examines on three milestone redshifts since the reionization of H
in the IGM, z = 3, 1, and 0, with emphasis on the endpoints. We review the
observational techniques used to discover and characterize the phases of
baryons. In the spirit of the meeting, the level is aimed at a diverse and
non-expert audience and additional attention is given to describe how space
missions expected to launch within the next decade will impact this scientific
field.Comment: Proceedings Review for "Astrophysics in the Next Decade: JWST and
