Description

It is here presented updated results of the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux with the Macro detector at Gran Sasso, using three data sets spread in a large energy range. In the high energy range, the upgoing throughgoing muon data set is in favor of νμ→ντ oscillation hypothesis with a probability of 36.6% against the 0.36% for the no oscillation hypothesis. In the low energy range, the two data set are also in favor to the oscillation hypothesis showing a large deficit for IU events and a reduced deficit for US+ID events, since only the US events (=50%) are expected to oscillate. Assuming a νμ→ντ oscillation scheme, the results suggest a large range of the parameter values centered around Δm2=0.0025 e V2, sin22θ=1
