UHE and EHE neutrino induced taus inside the Earth
S. Bottai, S. Giurgola
Abstract
Tau neutrinos interacting inside the Earth produce τ leptons which thereafter can decay inside the atmosphere. The propagation of extremely energetic 's and τ's through the Earth is studied by means of a detailed Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account all major mechanisms of interactions and τ energy loss as well as decay modes. The rates of τ's emerging from the Earth are determined as a function of τ's energy for several cosmic neutrino models.
