Astrophysical neutrinos are powerful tools to investigate the fundamental properties of particle physics through their flavor content. In this paper, we perform the first general new physics study on ultra high energy neutrino flavor content by introducing effective operators. We find that at the current limits on these operators, new physics terms cause maximal effects on the flavor content, however, the flavor content at Earth is confined to a region related to the assumed initial flavor content. Furthermore, we conclude that a precise measure of the flavor content at Earth will provide orders of magnitude improvement on new physics bounds. Finally, we discuss the current best fits of flavor content of the IceCube data and their interplay with new physics scenarios.

  1. Visible inelasticity as a probe of tau flavor content of astrophysical neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Visible inelasticity in starting tracks can statistically separate tau and muon neutrino events, yielding competitive sensitivity to the tau-to-muon flux ratio with current IceCube exposures.

  2. 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...

  3. Are neutrinos Majorana? Fixed-target and high-energy astrophysical searches decide

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Correlated HNL discovery at SHiP and flavor ratio shifts in astrophysical neutrinos at telescopes would establish neutrinos as Majorana fermions.

  4. Fundamental physics with high-energy cosmic neutrinos today and in the future

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    High-energy astrophysical neutrinos enable stringent tests of physics beyond the Standard Model at energies and baselines unreachable by other means.
