abstract
Electromagnetic (and adiabatic) energy losses of pions and muons modify the flavor ratio (measured at Earth) of neutrinos produced by pion decay in astrophysical sources, $\Phi_{\nu_e}:\Phi_{\nu_\mu}:\Phi_{\nu_\tau}$, from 1:1:1 at low energy to 1:1.8:1.8 at high energy. The transition occurs over 1-2 decades of nuetrino energy, and is correlated with a modification of the neutrino spectrum. For gamma-ray bursts, e.g., the transition is expected at \~100 TeV, and may be detected by km-scale neutrino telescopes. Measurements of the transition energy and energy-width will provide unique probes of the physics of the sources. pion and muon energy losses also affect the ratio of $\bar\nu_e$ flux to total neutrino flux, which may be measured at the W-resonance (6.3 PeV): It is modified from 1/6 (1/15) at low energy to 1/9 (practically 0) at high energy for neutrinos produced in pp ($p\gamma$) interactions.

Towards Measuring the CP-Violating Phase with Atmospheric Neutrinos
Proposes a new up-down flux ratio for sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos to measure δ_CP, potentially exceeding T2HK sensitivity near 90° and 270° at Hyper-Kamiokande.

Little Red Dots as Hidden Neutrino Sources
Little Red Dots can contribute ~30% of the diffuse neutrino background at TeV-sub-PeV energies through photomeson production in black hole envelopes, with modified flavor ratios at higher energies.

The KM3NeT 220 PeV event: a neutrino messenger from the grand unification scale?
The KM3NeT 220 PeV event is read as X o u ū decay of a flavored onium relic at m_X=4.4e8 GeV, with lifetime fixing a mediator near 10^16 GeV under a single Higgs insertion.

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

Are neutrinos Majorana? Fixed-target and high-energy astrophysical searches decide
Correlated HNL discovery at SHiP and flavor ratio shifts in astrophysical neutrinos at telescopes would establish neutrinos as Majorana fermions.

Single-source-class interpretation of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux
The diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is interpreted as dominated by a single source class with dominant pγ production for target photon temperatures of 0.1-1 keV.
