Description
Solar atmospheric neutrinos in TeV range are important as a background for indirect detection of WIMP annihilation in the Sun. This work presents a flux calculation (up to 100 TeV), which incorporates both the solar magnetic field and neutrino propagation effects. Neutrino production in the magnetic field is simulated using Geant4, while the propagation (with both interaction and oscillation) is handled by nuSQuIDS. Results without the solar magnetic field are benchmarked against existing literature, and the effects of the solar magnetic field on flux production are discussed.
