摘要：

The energy and zenith angle distribution of neutrino induced, upward going muons can give direct information on the presence of nu oscillations in precisely the range of parameters suggested as a solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem. We show that the shape of the zenith angle distribution of the muon flux is quite insensitive to modifications of the theoretical input and is therefore an excellent probe for neutrino oscillations. We conclude that the existing data sample on nu-induced muons has the statistical power to confirm or refute the nu-oscillation solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem. [S0556-2821(98)50807-7].
