Measurement of the L/E distributions of atmospheric nu in Soudan 2 and their interpretation as neutrino oscillations

A deficit of atmospheric νμ events, consistent with the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations, is observed in the 5.90 kiloton-year fiducial exposure of the Soudan 2 detector. An unbinned maximum likelihood analysis of the neutrino LIE distribution has been carried out using the Feldman-Cousins prescr...
