Abstract

Several high energy, > 100 GeV, neutrino telescopes are currently operating or under construction. Their main motivation is the extension of the horizon of neutrino astronomy to cosmological scales. We show that general, model independent, arguments imply that ∼ 1 Gton detectors are required to detect cosmic high energy neutrino sources. Predictions of models of some of the leading candidate sources, gamma ray bursts and micro-quasars, are discussed, and the question of what can be learned from neutrino observations is addressed.
