摘要：

We suggest an experimental measurement that could detect the appearance of tau neutrinos due to v(mu) --> v(tau) oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos by:measuring the energy spectra of neutrino induced Showers. tau neutrinos deposit a large fraction of their energy in Showers generated by v(tau) charge current interactions and the subsequent tau-lepton decay. The appearance of v(tau), will enhance the spectrum of neutrino induced showers in energy ranges corresponding to the neutrino oscillation parameters. A Shower rate lower than the "no oscillation" prediction is an indication for v(mu) --> v(s) oscillations.
