We show that matter effects change the ${\rm {\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau}}$ oscillation probability by as much as 70% for certain ranges of energies and pathlengths. Consequently, the ${\rm {\nu_\mu \to \nu_\mu}}$ survival probability also undergoes large changes. A proper understanding of $\nu_\mu$ survival rates must consider matter effects in $P_{\mu …
