Neutrino decay modifies neutrino propagation in a unique way; not only is there flavor changing as there is in neutrino oscillations, there is also energy transport from initial to final neutrinos. The most sensitive direct probe of neutrino decay is currently IceCube which can measure the energy and flavor of neutrinos traveling over extragalactic distances. For the first time we calculate the flavor transition probability for the cases of visible and invisible neutrino decay, including the effects of the expansion of the universe, and consider the implications for IceCube. As an example, we demonstrate how neutrino decay addresses a tension in the IceCube data. We also provide a publicly available code to calculate the effect of visible decay.

  1. Probing Neutrino Flavor Composition with the Glashow Resonance at Tau Air-Shower Neutrino Telescopes

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tau air-shower telescopes can potentially measure the PeV \bar{\nu}_e/(\nu_\tau+\bar{\nu}_\tau) ratio via the Glashow resonance, but standalone sensitivity only clearly separates \bar{\nu}_e-rich sources from standard...

  2. Exploring New Propagation Scales With Galactic Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A projected joint IceCube+KM3NeT Galactic-neutrino analysis could constrain quasi-Dirac mass splittings near 10^-14-10^-12 eV^2 and nu3-to-nu1 decay rates above 5e-13 eV^2 at 90% CL.
