Day - Night asymmetries and electronic spectra distortions for the Super - Kamiokande detector are computed for the transition nu_e -> nu_mu(tau) and for a set of neutrino parameters. The results show the possibility to enhance up to a…
Neutrino oscillation scenarios involving large angle $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e$ oscillations are disfavoured in the parameter range $\Delta m^2/eV^2 >~ 10^{-3}$ by recent results from the CHOOZ reactor-based $\bar{\nu}_e$ disappearance…
Using 5,326 days of atmospheric neutrino data, a search for atmospheric tau neutrino appearance has been performed in the Super-Kamiokande experiment. Super-Kamiokande measures the tau normalization to be 1.47$\pm$0.32 under the assumption…
The previously published atmospheric neutrino data did not distinguish whether muon neutrinos were oscillating into tau neutrinos or sterile neutrinos, as both hypotheses fit the data. Using data recorded in 1100 live-days of the…
Recent results on neutrino oscillations and neutrino masses are presented. The most exciting news are the Super-Kamiokande measurements of atmospheric neutrinos, which show evidence for the neutrinos being massive. Various possible schemes…
Recent results show that atmospheric $\nu_\mu$ oscillate with $\delta m^2 \simeq 3 \times 10^{-3}$ eV$^2$ and $\sin^2{2\theta_{atm}} \simeq 1$, and that conversion into $\nu_e$ is strongly disfavored. The Super-Kamiokande (SK)…
It should be regarded that the confirmation of the maximum oscillation in neutrino oscillation through L/E analysis by Super-Kamiokande is a logical consequence of their establishment on the existence of neutrino oscillation through the…
Assuming atmospheric neutrino oscillations with dominant nu_mu<--->nu_tau transitions, we discuss how subdominant nu_e mixing (within the Chooz reactor bounds) can alter the zenith distributions of neutrino-induced electrons and muons. We…
Recently, the MINOS collaboration reported an anomaly that the mass-squared difference and mixing angle of $\bar{\nu}_\mu$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\bar{\nu}_\tau$ are both different from that of $\nu_\mu$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\nu_\tau$. In this…
We show that the asymmetry in the neutral current events (e.g. Nu N -> Nu N pi^0) can be used to discriminate between Nu_mu - Nu_tau and Nu_mu - Nu_st mixing as being responsible for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. Specifically, A_N…
In this talk we present the update (including the recent SNO results) of our analysis of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems in the framework of four-neutrino mixing where a sterile neutrino is…
In this talk, I will present a snapshot of key results regarding atmospheric neutrinos, as of the summer of 2002. I will review the evidence for neutrino oscillation, dominated by the large sample from Super-Kamiokande, but supported by…

It is remarked that the SuperKamiokande (SK) discovery of $\nu_\mu$ to $\nu_\tau$ (or $\nu_X$)-oscillation, with a $\delta m^2 \approx 10^{-2}-10^{-3} eV^2$ and $sin^2 2 \theta > 0.8$, provides a clear need for the right-handed (RH)…
We consider the neutrino oscillations within the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. The Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data are used to set limits on the bilinear R-parity violating terms. These very…
In this talk I review measurements and calculations of the flux of neutrinos produced by interactions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The main reason for interest in this subject is the apparent anomaly between the predicted and the…
The predictions of the atmospheric nu event rates are affected by significant uncertainties, however the evidence for the `disappearance' of nu_mu's and antinu_mu's obtained by SK and other underground detectors is robust and cannot be…
The neutral current effects of the future high statistics atmospheric neutrino data can be used to distinguish the mechanisms between a $\nu_\mu$ oscillation to a tau neutrino or to a sterile neutrino. However, if neutrinos possess large…
