Description
High energy tau neutrinos with energy greater than several thousands of GeV may be produced in some astrophysical sites. A summary of the intrinsic high energy tau neutrino flux estimates from some representative astrophysical sites is presented including the effects of neutrino flavor oscillations. The presently envisaged prospects of observations of the oscillated high energy tau neutrino flux are mentioned. In particular, a recently suggested possibility of future observations of Earth-skimming high energy tau neutrinos is briefly discussed.
