Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Depite that it is difficult to detect neutrinos, they are an interesting tool in astrophysics to obtain information about astronomical objects and events such as the Sun, Supernovae, Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts because it is impossible to explore them by optic ways. Due to their very weak interaction with ordinary matter, neutrinos are able to propagate very large distances and pass through stars and galaxies with no energy loss. By detecting neutrinos at Earth, we can get information about neutrino sources as well as the production mechanism and we are also able to study neutrino properties which are not well understood yet, such as mass hierarchy and mixing angles. A great exemple is a neutrino telescope called IceCube which recently recorded, for the first time, high energy neutrino events in the range of TeV and PeV whose source is extragalactic. These events have opened a new window to study the universe. In this dissertation we use neutrino oscillation to study how is the change in the leptonic flavors of high energy neutrino fluxes from their extragalactic sources to the Earth. We also analyse the flavor ratio behavior of neutrino fluxes as a function of CP-violating phase and the mixing angle between second and
third generation.
