Neutrino Oscillations at High Energy by MACRO
نویسنده
چکیده
We present updated results of the measurement of upward-going muons produced by neutrino interactions in the rock below the MACRO detector. These data support MACRO’s previously published results. They favor a neutrino oscillation explanation of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.

Atmospheric neutrino oscillations with the MACRO detector
After a short overview of the MACRO detector, located at the Gran Sasso Laboratory, I shall present and discuss the results on atmospheric muon neutrino oscillations, concerning low (〈Eν〉 ∼ 4 GeV) and high (〈Eν〉 ∼ 50 GeV) energy data. Using the Multiple Coulomb Scattering of muons inside the lower part of the detector, estimates of the neutrino energy were made event by event for the high energ...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics and Astrophysics with the MACRO Experiment at the Gran Sasso Lab
The results of the MACRO experiment on atmospheric neutrino oscillations are presented and discussed. The data concern different event topologies with average neutrino energies of ∼ 4 and ∼ 50 GeV. The Multiple Coulomb Scattering of muons in the MACRO absorbers was used to estimate the neutrino energy of each event of the higher energy sample. The angular distributions, the absolute fluxes and ...
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Oscillations in Macro
In this paper we first give a short overview of the MACRO detector which was operational at the Gran Sasso Laboratory from 1989 till the end of 2000. Then we present and discuss the results on atmospheric muon neutrino oscillations, concerning medium (∼ 4 GeV) and high (∼ 50 GeV) energy data. Using the Multiple Coulomb Scattering of muons inside the lower part of the detector, estimates of neut...
متن کاملNeutrino physics and astrophysics with the MACRO detector
After a brief presentation of the MACRO detector we discuss the data on atmospheric neutrinos and neutrino oscillations, on high energy (Eν > 1 GeV) neutrino astronomy, on indirect searches for WIMPs and low energy (Eν > ∼ 7 MeV) stellar collapse neutrinos.
متن کاملNew MACRO results on atmospheric neutrino oscillations
The final results of the MACRO experiment on atmospheric neutrino oscillations are presented and discussed. The data concern different event topologies with average neutrino energies of ∼ 3 and ∼ 50 GeV. Multiple Coulomb Scattering of the high energy muons in absorbers was used to estimate the neutrino energy of each event. The angular distributions, the L/Eν distribution, the particle ratios a...
