Astroparticle physics is a field rich in perspectives in investigating the ultra high energy region which will never be accessible to man-made machines. Many efforts are underway in order to detect the first cosmic neutrinos, messengers of the unobserved universe. The motivations of this field of re

โฆ Synopsis
Aspects related to the production, propagation and prospects for observations of high energy astrophysical tau neutrinos originating from some representative extra terrestrial sources such as the atmosphere of earth, our galactic plane as well as possibly from distant sites of gamma ray bursts in the energy range lo3 5 E/GeV < 10" are reviewed.

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 det
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. Pseudo
