摘要：

Neutrino telescopes with large detection volumes can demonstrate whether the current indications of neutrino oscillation are correct or if a better description can be achieved with nonstandard alternatives. Observations of contained muons produced by atmospheric neutrinos can better constrain the allowed region for oscillations or determine the relevant parameters of nonstandard models. We analyze the possibility of neutrino telescopes measuring atmospheric neutrino oscillations. We suggest adjustments to improve this potential. An addition of four densely instrumented strings to the AMANDA II detector makes oscillation observations feasible. Such a configuration is competitive with current and proposed experiments.
