Inconsistencies in Interpreting the Atmospheric Neutrino Anomaly
John M. LoSecco
We note a discrepancy between the value of R expected on the basis of the muon neutrino angular distribution and the value actually observed. The energy independence of leads t…
Bounds on Extra Dimensions from Binary Pulsars
J. M. LoSecco
Evidence for gravitational radiation from binary pulsars places constraints on properties of ``large'' extra dimensions. The size of these extra dimensions must exceed about 37 AU…
Atmospheric Neutrinos: Past, Present and
John M. LoSecco
This paper reviews the history of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. The historical record does not support more recent claims that the anomaly constitutes evidence for a neutrino m…
Possible Sources of a Transient Natural Neutrino Flux
J. M. LoSecco
Recent observations of variability in the ``atmospheric neutrino'' rate place constraints on possible explanations of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. Many proposed solutions to t…
What the Atmospheric Neutrino Anomaly is Not
J. M. LoSecco
The atmospheric neutrino anomaly is the apparent reduction of the ratio observed in underground detectors. It represents either a reduction in the muon neutrino interac…
Problems with Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations
J. M. LoSecco
The neutrino oscillation hypothesis does a poor job of representing the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. The anomaly is observed over 4 decades in path length and at least a factor of…
