Abstract
In this paper we study the possibility of probing for the absolute neutrino mass and its variation with short gamma ray burst (GRB). We have calculated the flight time difference between a massive neutrino and a photon in two different approaches to the mass varying neutrinos. Firstly we parametrize the neutrino mass as a function of the redshift in a model independent way, then we consider two specific models where the neutrino mass varies during the evolution of the quintessence fields. Our calculations show in general the value of the time delay is changed substantially relative to a constant neutrino mass and is also expected to be larger than the duration time of the short GRB.
