Neutrino Flavor Detection at Neutrino Telescopes and Its Uses

Abstract

It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilised to learn about many neutrino properties such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy, mixing, minuscule pseudo-Dirac mass splittings and other exotic properties. In addition, the production mechanism of neutrinos in the astrophysical sources can also be elucidated.
