✦ Synopsis

Several high energy, > 100 GeV, neutrino telescopes are currently operating or under construction.

Their main motivation is the extension of the horizon of neutrino astronomy to cosmological scales. We show that general, model independent, arguments imply that N 1 Gton detectors are required to detect cosmic high energy neutrino sources. Predictions of models of some of the leading candidate sources, gamma-ray bursts and micro-quasars, are discussed, and the question of what can be learned from neutrino observations is addressed.

It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilized to learn about some properties of neutrinos such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy, etc. Furthermore, even mixing elements such as U e3 and the CPV phase in the neutrino mixing matrix can be measured in principle.
