Sigl, hep-ph/0002257, wherein they have proposed that from the measurements of horizontal air showers, one can put bounds on the UHH neutrino flux striking the earth. This, in turn, can be used for putting bounds on UHE neutrino interactions with matter beyond the standard model. Thus, the modification in neutrino propagation in theories with large extra dimensions can, in principle, be tested.
