We study the effects produced by interactions among neutrinos upon extra-galactic neutrino-fluxes. We have assumed a separable type of pair interactions and performed a transformation to a quasi-particle mean field followed by a Tamm-Damcoff diagonalization. In doing so, we have adopted techniques originated in the quantum many-body problem, and adapted them to this specific case. The solutions of the associated eigenvalue problem provide us with energies and amplitudes which are then used to
