Atmospheric Neutrinos at Super-kamiokande
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1998, the Super-Kamiokande announced evidence for the observation of neutrino oscillations based on measurements of the atmospheric neutrino flux. This paper presents the updated results for fully and partially-contained events with 736 days of data, as well as upward-going muon results and a global analysis. Preliminary interpretations of the results in terms of various two-flavor oscillation hypotheses are presented.

Results from Super-kamiokande
The results from Super-Kamiokande on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos are presented. The contained event analysis of atmospheric neutrinos shows a small value of p/e ratio and a large asymmetry in the zenith angle distribution. A distortion of zenith angle distribution is observed in the upward-through-going muons resulting from atmospheric neutrino interactions in the rock surrounding...
متن کاملMeasurements of Atmospheric Neutrinos in the Super{kamiokande Detector
We have measured atmospheric neutrinos using data from a 25.5 kton year of the Super{Kamiokande detector. Using detailed ux calculations and detector simulations, we con rm that the avor ratio = e is signi cantly smaller than the expected value. Measured zenith angle distributions indicate that the small avor ratio is due to a de cit of upward going muon neutrinos. The neutrino oscillation hypo...
متن کاملSolar and Atmospheric Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande
The Super-Kamiokande (SK) water Cherenkov detector has been operating for nearly 12 years collecting data for the study of both solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as searching for neutrinos from supernovæ(and relic supernovæ) and for nucleon decay. The experiment has undergone three operating phases during the full running period: SK-I (40% photocathode coverage), SK-II (20% coverage), and...
متن کاملResults on Neutrino Oscillations from 400 Days of Super-kamiokande Data
The Super-Kamiokande experiment, using the world's largest underground water Cherenkov detector, has been running since April 1, 1996. The total live time for the analysis has reached more than 350 days. The latest results on atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, and related topics are reported. c 1997 by Yoshitaka Itow.
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande and parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations
We consider the oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos in the earth in the threeneutrino scheme with a ∆m hierarchy and a small admixture of the electron neutrino in the heavy mass eigenstate characterized by the mixing angle θ13. We show that for ∆m ≃ (0.5− 3)× 10 eV indicated by the Super-Kamiokande data and sin 2θ13 < ∼ 0.2, the oscillations of multi-GeV neutrinos in the subdominant νμ ↔ νe m...
