Measurement of Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations with Very Large Volume Neutrino Telescopes

Figure 4

Transition probabilities for electron (a) and muon (b) neutrinos that arrive at a detector from (mantle-crossing trajectory marked by a dashed line in Figure 3). The bands encompass the results of the calculation once the uncertainties on the oscillation parameters from [3] are included. Normal mass ordering is assumed. If the resonance was absent (inverted mass ordering or transitions for antineutrinos) (a) would show oscillations with amplitudes smaller than 0.1, while (b) would show transitions only between muon and tau neutrinos.
