High-energy astrophysical neutrinos have been observed by several telescopes in the last decade, but their sources still remained unknown. We address the problem of locating astrophysical neutrinos' sources in a statistical manner. We show…

Astrophysical sources of ultrahigh energy neutrinos yield tau neutrino fluxes due to neutrino oscillations. At neutrino energies in the EeV range, radio Cherenkov detection methods show promise for detecting these fluxes. We quantify the…

The evidence of a new population of diffuse high-energy neutrinos, obtained by IceCube, has opened a new era in the field of neutrino physics. Up to now the events detected are still without any source counterpart. The detected events are…

Ultra high energy neutrinos UHE neutrino Tau, anti-neutrino Tau, anti-neutrino electron at PeVs, and higher energy may induce tau air-showers whose detectability is million to billion times amplified by their secondaries. We considered UHE…

Ultra High Cosmic Rays (UHECR) Astronomy may be correlated to a primary parental Neutrino Astronomy: indeed any far BL Lac Jet or GRB, sources of UHECR, located at cosmic edges, may send its signal, overcoming the severe GZK cut-off, by…

We examine the production and decay of extremely heavy magnetically charged leptons, (tau_g and mu_g), to their own very heavy mu_g and e_g plus their own new species of neutrinos, nu_g and nubar_g, at some time early in the universe which…

Tau neutrinos interacting inside the Earth produce $\tau$ leptons which thereafter can decay inside the atmosphere. The propagation of extremely energetic \nut's and $\tau$'s through the Earth is studied by means of a detailed Monte Carlo…

We point out the opportunity of the tau neutrino astronomy for the neutrino energy E ranging between 10 GeV and 10^3 GeV. In this energy range, the intrinsic tau neutrino production is suppressed relative to the intrinsic muon neutrino…

The rarest cosmic rays above the GZK cut'off $(E_{CR} \tilde{>} 10^{19} \div 10^{20} eV)$ are probably born at cosmic distances ($\tilde{>}$ tens Mpc) by AGNs (QSRs, BLac, Blazars...). Their puzzling survival over $2.75 K^o$ BBR radio waves…
