Kvasidegeneroituneiden steriilien neutriinojen havaitseminen

We study a model of sterile neutrinos where the three ordinary active neutrinos actually consist of a superposition of an active and a sterile neutrinos forming quasidegenerate pairs. Oscillation between these pairs causes mixing between active and sterile neutrinos. Eigenmasses of the quasidegenerate pairs are very close to each other and theirs mass squared difference is of the order δm2 ~ 10^-12 eV2 or less. Such a small mass squared difference could be probed with AGN and GRB neutrinos detected in cubic kilometer size neutrino observatories. In this work, affects of different parameters and different flavours at the source to the neutrino fluxes in cases of one, two and three sterile neutrinos is studied using the model. Muon relative neutrino flux, Fµ, is one of the easiest observed quantity in neutrino observatories. However, it is unlikely that any information of the sterile neutrinos could be extracted from this quantity because effects are too small to be observed. With other quantities, such as Fe/Fτ, the existence of sterile neutrinos could be verified but any other information, i.e. mixing angles and mass squared differences, are likely to be left out of the scope.
