The present status of some theoretical interpretations of the atmospheric neutrino deficit is briefly discussed. Specifically, we show the results for the FC mechanism and for the standard oscillation hypothesis, both in the active and in…
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…
