One of the outstanding problems in particle physics today is the discrepancy between the predicted and observed ratios of non-showering particles to all particles that are observed in earth-based detectors. These particles are produced by electron and muon neutrino interactions. The IMB3 detector (1) recorded the ratio of non-showering particles to total particles (the 'non-showering fraction') as being 0.36 ± 0.02(stat) ± 0.02(syst) (see Ref. (3)). The IMB group's Monte Carlo simulation gives the expected ratio of 0.51 ± 0.01(stat) ± 0.05(syst). The analysis contained in this dissertation results in a value of 0.281 ± 0.022(stat) ± 0.050(syst).
