摘要：

The flux of upward through-going muons of minimum (mean) threshold energy >1.6 (3.0) GeV is measured, based on a total of 372 events observed by the Kamiokande II + III detector during 2456 detector live days. The observed muon flux was Phi(obs) = [1.94 +/- 0.10(stat.)(-0.06)(+0.07)sys.)] x 10(-13) cm(-2)s(-1) sr(-1), which is compared to an expected value of Phi(theo) = [2.46 +/- 0.54(theo.)] x 10(-13) cm(-2)s(-1) sr(-1). The observation is in agreement with the prediction within the errors. The zenith-angle dependence of the observed upward through-going muons supports the previous indication of neutrino oscillations made by Kamiokande using sub- and multi-GeV atmospheric neutrino events.
