Neutrino spectra Main hypothesis are: Full hadronic mechanism and source transparent to gamma In the Vissani prescription neutrino flux is estimated from Gamma yield Gamma from h and neutrino oscillations taken into account with In Kappes et al., ApJ 656 (2007) 870 a parameterization of pion production and decay in hadronic interaction is used to evaluate the relationship between g-ray, p and n spectra in the hypothesis that the proton spectrum is a power law. From the fit of observed gamma spectra the neutrino spectra parameters are evaluated. Oscillations are taken into account with R. Coniglione 29-31 January 2013 Marseille
