Description

I shall discuss a scenario which can explain the shape and flavor content of very high en ergy neutrinos observed recently by IceCube collaboration. It works as follows: dark matter decay produces very high energy sterile neutrinos, with energies order PeV, which then oscillate into active neutrinos with proper oscillation probabilities, producing VHE neutrinos with specific spectrum.
