Results from Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Experiments Atmospheric data explained extremely well by oscillations looks like primarily to conversion mixing angle 23 is very large, possibly maximal m 2 ~ 2 x eV 2 Solar e change primarily to other active ’s if oscillations, mixing angle 12 is large but not maximal if oscillations, m 2 ~ 7 x eV 2 matter predicted to play a role in transformation ’s transform flavor looks like primarily to conversion mixing angle 23 is very large, possibly maximal m 2 ~ 2 x eV 2
