It is known that neutrino oscillations may map $\phi_e : \phi_\mu : \phi_\tau = 1 : 2 : 0$, the initial flavor ratios of ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes produced from a distant astrophysical source, into $\phi^D_e : \phi^D_\mu :…

Observations of atmospheric neutrinos offer compelling evidence that neutrinos have mass and do oscillate. Preliminary data are compatible with maximal $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_\tau$ mixing, but not with pure $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_e$ mixing. In a general…
