“…The UHECR shower Cherenkov mark background for the UAS detection could be suppressed via identification of the fluorescence track component of the same UHECR showers. Indeed, a shower which produces a strong Cherenkov mark containing more than N thr photoelectrons would typically have much more photoelectrons constituting an image of the EAS track [84]. This is true also for the showers with particularly strong Cherenkov marks on optically thick clouds [76].…”

Neutrinos with energies in the PeV to EeV range produce upgoing extensive air showers when they interact underground close enough to the surface of the Earth. We study the possibility for detection of such showers with a system of very wide field-of-view imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, named CHANT for CHerenkov from Astrophysical Neutrinos Telescope, pointing down to a strip below the Earth's horizon from space. We find that CHANT provides sufficient sensitivity for the study of the astrophysical neutrino flux in a wide energy range, from 10 PeV to 10 EeV. A spacebased CHANT system can discover and study in detail the cosmogenic neutrino flux originating from interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays in the intergalactic medium.

Extreme Universe Space Observatory on-board the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO) is a mission devoted to the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) around and above the Greisen-Zatseptin-Kuzimin energy at ∼ 5 × 10 19 eV. The origin of these enigmatically energetic cosmic rays remain an open question since their discovery more than 50 years ago. High statistics on UHECRs are essential to provide key information to answer this question and necessitate very large exposures to overcome their extremely low flux of an order of a few events per square kilometer per century. JEM-EUSO is designed to measure the air showers induced by UHECRs using a super-wide field-of-view ultra-violet fluorescence telescope pointed downwards on Earth's nighttime atmosphere. Orbiting onboard the International Space Station (ISS), JEM-EUSO rather uniformly covers the entire Celestial Sphere, allowing a thorough analysis of the UHECR arrival direction distribution. In the present work, we introduce a design of the JEM-EUSO telescope suitable for using the Space-X Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon spacecraft for transport to the ISS. This design allows for accommodation of the telescope with equivalent or slightly improved performance than that studied for H-II Transport Vehicle option. We then discuss the expected performance, in particular the scientific objective of searching the arrival direction distribution of UHECRs for their origin through simulation studies.
