Description

Directional-integated fluxes of atmospheric electron and muon neutrinos are measured in the energy range from sub-GeV to seveal TeV using Super-Kamiokande detector. Super-Kamiokande is the largest detector in the world which has sensitivity in this energy range, and excellent capabilities to distinguish nu_mu and nu_e by particle identification of out-going leptons. The energy spectrum is reconstructed using unfolding technique with the estimation of the systematic uncertainties, and compared with the existing flux calculation models. We will also discuss about the possibile relevant physics which will be available by performing comprehensive analysis including other flux measurements in higher energies.
