Experimental Evidence for Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations: MACRO, Soudan 2, and the Future

  • 1. Tufts University, Medford, MA, 02176 (United States)

Description

In this note I will summarize the most recent results from the MACRO and Soudan 2 experiments. Despite their limited statistics compared with SuperKamiokande these experiments provide strong confirmatory evidence, with completely different systematics, of atmospheric neutrino oscillations. I will briefly mention the additional information that the current generation of running experiments may provide and the important role atmospheric neutrinos can continue to play in the exploration of the neutrino sector
