Impact of the atmopshere on neutrino oscillation measurements by ORCA

Master thesis | Physics (MSc)

The KM3NeT/ORCA experiment will use part of the detector which is currently being built in the Mediterranean Sea to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy by measuring the pattern of atmospheric neutrino oscillations. In this thesis, in addition to the neutrino oscillations in the Earth, the oscillations in the atmosphere have been included in the simulations and the impact of the atmosphere on the measurements has been evaluated
