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.

The Super-Kamiokande detector

S. Fukuda, +186 more
TL;DR: Super-Kamiokande is the world's largest water Cherenkov detector, with net mass 50,000 tons as discussed by the authors, which collected 1678 live-days of data, observing neutrinos from the Sun, Earth's atmosphere, and the K2K long-baseline neutrino beam with high efficiency.

Observation of muon neutrino disappearance with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI neutrino beam

D. G. Michael, +302 more
TL;DR: In this article, the MINOS experiment reported results from its initial exposure to neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam, and the rate and energy spectra of charged current muon neutrino interactions are compared in two detectors located along the beam axis at distances of 1 km and 735 km.

Measurement of the Flux and Zenith-Angle Distribution of Upward Throughgoing Muons by Super-Kamiokande

Y. Fukuda, +121 more
TL;DR: A total of 614 upward throughgoing muons were observed by Super-Kamiokande during 537 detector live days and the measured muon flux is [1.74{plus_minus} 0.02(sys)]{times} 10{sup {minus}13} cm{sup 2}thinsp2{theta} {gt}0.

Constraints on neutrino oscillation parameters from the measurement of day-night solar neutrino fluxes at super-kamiokande

Y. Fukuda, +124 more
TL;DR: In this article, a search for day-night variations in the solar neutrino flux resulting from neutrinos oscillations has been carried out using the 504 day sample of solar NE data obtained at Super-Kamiokande.
