Abstract content

We use a diffusive model for the propagation of Galactic cosmic rays to estimate the charged meson production in interactions with protons of the interstellar medium. Cosmic ray nuclei from proton to iron are considered and the corresponding contribution to the neutrino secondary flux produced as a result of spallation is also estimated. The contribution from nearby Galaxies to the all sky neutrino flux inside the same energy window is also analyzed.
