摘要
We investigate the effect of sterile neutrinos that are nearly degenerate with active ones on the flux of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray neutrinos at earth. This offers a way to probe neutrino oscillations in the mass-squared range 10(-16) eV(2) less than or similar to deltam(2) less than or similar to 10(-11) eV(2) which maybe hard to detect by any other means. Taking into account the present experimental uncertainties of the active-active mixing angles and by allowing any values for the active-sterile mixing angles we find that the ratio of the electron and muon neutrino fluxes may change by -40% to 70% in comparison with the ratio in the absence of active-sterile mixing.
