Title:
"Revealing Neutrino Properties via High Energy Neutrino Astrophysics"
Abstract: Recent advances in our knowledge
of neutrino physics has paved the way to search for truly exotic
physics in the neutrino sector, that is, something beyond neutrino
oscillations. High energy neutrino astrophysics has the potential
to shed light not only on the nature of astrophysical sources, but also
upon exotic neutrino properties, and upon particle physics at energies
and baselines far exceeding those accessible in terrestrial collider
experiments. We explore the prospects for next generation
neutrino telescopes to measure the flavor ratios of high-energy
astrophysical neutrinos, and discuss examples of neutrino properties
that may be revealed via such measurements..
