Detecting very high energy neutrinos by the telescope array

Abstract: We present the cosmic neutrino detecting potential of the Telescope Array for quasihorizontally downward and upward air showers initiated by very high energy neutrinos penetrating the air and the Earth respectively. We adopted model predictions for extraterrestrial neutrino fluxes from active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, Greisen photo production, the collapse of topological defects, and Z-bursts. The Telescope Array, using a large array of bright and wide field-of-view fluorescence telescopes, can explor… Show more

“…The distance between Mauna Kea and Loa allows a 30 km range for shower development. Ashra-1 has demonstrated [18] with this configuration, but NTA would augment it with fluorescence [11] ability of Site0, plus two other mountain sites. The huge target mass (> 100 km 3 ), huge atmospheric mass (shower volume, with area > 1000 km 2 ) and mountain as background shield imply a rather large footprint for NTA, and conceptually quite different from IceCube and Auger.…”

“…Though electronics was quickly built, optics was a challenge, and discussions went on to adopt the optical system ( Fig. 2) from Ashra, where the Earth-skimming ν τ method was also proposed [11] with a fluorescence telescope array, which would be the basic technique Neutrino Telescope Array, as we will discuss. The NuTel proposal, however, was rejected in 2004, mainly due to an estimated low event rate of 0.5 event/year.…”

“…The key technical feature of Ashra-1 is the use of electrostatic rather than optical lenses to generate convergent beams (the 20 inch Photoelectric Lens Image (PLI) tube [6]), enabling high resolution over a wide FOV. The electron optics of photoelectric lens imaging links wide angle precision optics [7] to the image pipeline [8]. The Photoelectric Image Pipeline (PIP) splits the focal image into trigger/image capture devices after amplification, sending the same fine image to multiple triggers.…”
