Simulation of propagating EAS Cherenkov radiation over the ocean surface

Abstract

We present computing results of the Cherenkov light propagation in air and water from extensive air showers developing over the ocean. Limits on zenith angles of the showers, at which the registration of flashes of reflected Cherenkov photons by the satellite-based detector TUS is possible, are analyzed with consideration for waves on the ocean surface.

Possibility of using satellite-based detector for recording the Cherenkov light from ultrahigh-energy extensive atmospheric shower penetrating into ocean water
