โฆ Synopsis
This talk is a status report on calculations of the flux of atmospheric neutrinos from the sub-GeV range to Ev N PeV. In the lower energy range (E, < 1 TeV) the primary interest is in using the atmospheric neutrino beam to study neutrino oscillations. In the TeV range and above, atmospheric neutrinos are a calibration source and background for neutrino telescopes.

The uncertainty in the calculation of atmospheric neutrino fluxes is studied. The absolute value of atmospheric neutrino fluxes is sensitive to variation of the primary cosmic ray flux model asld/or the interaction model. However, the ratios between different kind of neutrinos stay almost unchanged
