Abstract

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 30 in energy. This restricts the potential oscillation solutions to those with large amplitudes and mixing mass differences that are ruled out by other observations. The Δm2 region in the range 10-4 - 10-2 leads to inconsistencies within the atmospheric neutrino data itself. The observed value of R seems to be incompatible with the Δm2 implied by recent results
