We discuss the possibility for matter effects in the three-neutrino oscillations of the atmospheric nu_e (bar{nu}_e) and nu_mu (bar{nu}_mu), driven by one neutrino mass squared difference, |Delta m2_{31}| >> Delta m2_{21}, to be observable…
We examine the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy in the limit \theta_{13} = 0 using atmospheric neutrinos as the source. In this limit, in which \theta_{13} driven matter effects are absent, independent measurements of…
Observations of atmospheric neutrinos by the SuperKamiokande collaboration have demonstrated large mixing of the muon-neutrino. However the present atmospheric neutrino data does not significantly constrain the associated mixing of the…
