Atmospheric Neutrino Flux: A Review of Calculations

Abstract

Interpretation and understanding of the evidence for neutrino oscillations depends on knowledge of the atmospheric neutrino beam. In this talk I assess how well various features are known. The goal is to determine to what extent uncertainties in the neutrino beam may limit the conclusions about neutrino properties and which features of the evidence for neutrino oscillations are most robust.
