Prompt tau-neutrino fluxes in present and future tau-neutrino experiments

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
We use a nonperturbative QCD approach, the quark-gluon string model, to compute the 
τ
-neutrino fluxes produced by fixed target 
pA
 collisions (where 
A
 is a target material) for incident protons of energies ranging from 120 to 800 GeV. The purpose of this calculation is to estimate in a consistent way the prompt background for the
