Evidence for oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos

Y. Fukuda, +124 more
Abstract: We present an analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from a 33.0 kton yr (535-day) exposure of the Super-Kamiokande detector. The data exhibit a zenith angle dependent deficit of muon neutrinos which is inconsistent with expectations based on calculations of the atmospheric neutrino flux. Experimental biases and uncertainties in the prediction of neutrino fluxes and cross sections are unable to explain our observation. The data are consistent, however, with two-flavor ${\ensuremath{ u}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}{\ensuremath{ u}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ oscillations with ${sin}^{2}2\ensuremath{\theta}g0.82$ and $5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}l\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}^{2}l6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1{0}^{\ensuremath{-}3}\mathrm{eV}{}^{2}$ at 90% confidence level.

Measurements of the solar neutrino flux from Super-Kamiokande's first 300 days

Y. Fukuda, +131 more
TL;DR: The first results of the solar neutrino flux measurement from Super-Kamiokande are presented in this article, where the results are obtained from data taken between 31 May 1996, and 23 June 1997.

Tau neutrinos favored over sterile neutrinos in atmospheric muon neutrino oscillations.

S. Fukuda, +119 more
TL;DR: Using data recorded in 1100 live days of the Super-Kamiokande detector, three complementary data samples are used to study the difference in zenith angle distribution due to neutral currents and matter effects and find no evidence favoring sterile neutrinos, and reject the hypothesis at the 99% confidence level.
