Abstract content
The atmospheric neutrino is still an important tool in the study of neutrino physics. The uncertainty of the predicted atmospheric neutrino flux is caused by the uncertainties in the physical assumptions and in the calculation scheme. We discuss them quantitatively, and present the works to reduce them. The uncertainty related to the hadronic interaction model was discussed before, therefore, we mainly study other uncertainty sources than the hadronic interaction model here.
