Observations of atmospheric neutrinos offer compelling evidence that neutrinos have mass and do oscillate. Preliminary data are compatible with maximal $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_\tau$ mixing, but not with pure $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_e$ mixing. In a general…

It is well known that when the distance $t$ traveled by neutrinos in matter is short, matter effects in oscillations of neutrino flavour are small and decrease with decreasing $t$ more rapidly than the oscillations effects themselves. We…
