Abstract
Theories with large extra dimensions provide the possibility that a flavor neutrino, localized in a 3+1 brane, can mix with a singlet neutrino living in the bulk. This mixing leads to unconventional patterns of neutrino matter oscillations and we examine in details how these oscillations depend upon two parameters: the brane-bulk coupling and the effective mass of the flavor neutrino inside matter. We find that high energy GeV) neutrinos, to be detected by neutrino telescopes, can give signals of extra dimensions. With a 1 k neutrino telescope extra dimensions with radius down to can be tested directly, while for smaller radius an indirect evidence can be established.
