Abstract
We consider the impact of oscillations on 1-200 TeV neutrinos expected from RX J1713.7-3946. After a description of the nature of the source, we obtain a prediction for the neutrino fluxes, based on the intense gamma ray flux first seen by CANGAROO and recently measured by the H.E.S.S. experiment. We study the effect of 3 flavor oscillations in detail and consider the impact on the muon flux induced by these high energy neutrinos, potentially observable by a neutrino telescope located in the Northern hemisphere. A detector in the Mediterranean with an effective area of 1Â km2 and unit detection efficiency should be able to see a signal of about 10 muons per year.
