Abstract
The topic of this review is the particle astrophysics of high energy neutrinos. High energy is defined as E v > 100 MeV. Main topics include: (i) atmospheric neutrinos and muons from π, K and charm decay. They probe uncharted territory in neutrino oscillations and constitute both the background and calibration of high energy neutrino telescopes, (ii) sources of high energy neutrino beams: the galactic plane, the sun, X-ray binaries, supernova remnants and interactions of extra-galactic cosmic rays with background photons, (iii) an extensive review of the mechanisms by which active galaxies may produce high energy particle beams, (iv) high energy neutrino signatures of cold dark matter and, (v) a brief review of detection techniques (water and ice Čerenkov detectors, surface detectors, radio and acoustic detectors, horizontal airshower arrays) and the instruments under construction.
