The atmospheric neutrino flux includes a component from the prompt decay of charmed hadrons that becomes significant only at E >= 10 TeV. At these energies, however, the diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos discovered by IceCube seems to be larger than the atmospheric one. Here we study the possibility to detect a neutrino interaction in down-going atmospheric events at km3 telescopes. The neutrino signal will always appear together with a muon bundle that reveals its atmospheric origin and, generically, it implies an increase in the detector activity with the slant depth. We propose a simple algorithm that could separate these events from regular muon bundles. 2021-10-27T09:37:16Z 2021-10-27T09:37:16Z 2022-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article M. Gutiérrez et al.
