The interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere generates a neutrino flux spanning from 10 MeV to over 10 TeV, traveling through baselines from ~10 km to ~1000 km. This creates an ideal environment for testing neutrino evolution. Atmospheric neutrinos have been crucial in discovering neutrino oscillations and continue to advance our understanding. In this talk, we assess the sensitivity of...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometre Cherenkov neutrino telescope deep in the glacial ice at the geographic South Pole. Thanks to its low energy extension, DeepCore, the instrument can observe atmospheric neutrinos as low as 5~GeV, going up to hundreds of TeV with
the full array. This wide energy flux comes from all directions in the sky, and is modulated by oscillations...
A new generation of atmospheric neutrino detectors will become operational within the next few years. With instrumented water/ice masses ranging from 0.2 Mtons to several Mtons they will accumulate several 100,000 neutrino events per year. This wealth of data accompanied by improvements of systematic uncertainties will allow to perform competitive precision measurements in the GeV energy range...
