Abstract:	While atmospheric muons can be easily filtered out atmospheric neutrinos are an irreducible back-ground for diffuse extra-terrestrial neutrino fluxes. The main principle in this thesis is that it is possible to overcome the theoretical uncertainty in the magnitude of the prompt neutrino fluxes by deriving their intensity from a measurement of the down-going prompt muon flux. An attempt to constrain this flux using this principle was made and analysis of the down-going muon data was performed to constrain the RPQM model of prompt muons by a factor of 3.67 under a strict set of simplifying assumptions. 22 3 Measuring the Prompt Atmospheric Neutrino Flux with Downgoing Muons in AMANDA-II ...
