Abstract

Neutrino oscillations, in a two neutrino mixing scenario, are the most likely solution for the atmospheric neutrino problem [1]. Underground experiments unfold the mass difference Δm 2 = m 2 v2 and the mixing angle θ from the measurement of the survival probability P(v μv μ) = 1 − sin 22 θ sin 2(1.27Δm 2 l v /E v ) .
