Super‐Kamiokande’s measurements of the solar and atmospheric neutrino flux yielded first evidence for oscillation of atmospheric vμ’s into vτ’s and (together with data from the SNO experiment) first evidence for oscillation of solar ve’s into vμ’s or vτ’s. Data from Super‐Kamiokande also constrained the neutrino mixing in both cases to be large. In Super‐Kamiokande, the flux and energy spectrum of the first long baseline accelerator vμ’s were measured, they favor neutrino oscillations consistent with the atmospheric neutrino analysis.
