Abstract

For high energy cosmic neutrinos Athar, Jezabek, and Yasuda (AJY) have recently shown that the existing data on neutrino oscillations suggests that cosmic neutrino flux at the AGN/GRB source, F(nue):F(numu):F(nutau) approx 1:2:0, oscillates to F(nue):F(numu):F(nutau) approx 1:1:1. These results can be confirmed at AMANDA, Baikal, ANTARES and NESTOR, and other neutrino detectors with a good flavor resolution. Here, we re-derive the AJY result from quasi bi-maximal mixing, and show that observation of F(nue):F(nuμ):F(nutau) approx 1:1:1 does not necessarily establish cosmic neutrino flux at the AGN/GRB source to be F(nue):F(numu):F(nutau) approx 1:2:0.
