Estimating High-Energy Neutrino Effective Areas from Muon Propagation

Neutrino telescopes observe neutrinos through the muons produced by charged-current interactions. Most of those muons are born kilometers outside the detector, and how much energy they lose on the way is stochastic. We show that we can compute analytically the distance a muon travels before it falls below the detection...
