Description
In this talk, we present a search strategy for neutrino-induced air showers using the Telescope Array surface detectors (TA SD), focusing on the large zenith angle region. To develop the analysis method, we used Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In previous TA analyses, the MC generation method was established only for proton showers with zenith angles up to 60 degrees. Therefore, we validated and implemented a new MC generation method specifically for large-zenith-angle neutrino showers. Additionally, we investigated the reconstruction method and developed an optimized approach for large-zenith-angle neutrinos. Using the generated MC, we explored a method to distinguish neutrino showers from proton showers. In this talk, we introduce this new neutrino search method for the TA experiment. The established methodology will be applied to real data collected by the TA SD to conduct a neutrino search.
