Atmospheric neutrinos are produced from the cascading decays of cosmic pions (π±) to stable particles. Ignoring all other neutrino sources, the ratio of muon neutrino \(\left(v_\mu+\bar{v}_\mu\right)\) flux to electron neutrino \(\left(v_e+\bar{v}_e\right)\) flux in atmosphere is expected to be closest to
