This talk is a status report on calculations of the flux of atmospheric neutrinos from the sub-GeV range to E_\nu ~ PeV. In the lower energy range (E_\nu < 1 TeV) the primary interest is in using the atmospheric neutrino beam to study…

Atmospheric muons play an important role in underwater/ice neutrino detectors. In this paper, a parameterisation of the flux of single and multiple muon events, their lateral distribution and of their energy spectrum is presented. The…
