Description

UHECR interactions with matter and radiation imply a UHE neutrino astronomy to be soon revealed. Flavor mixing provide the rarest Tau neutrino signals well above atmospheric ones. UHE Tau neutrino scattering inside the Earth would lead to Taus whose decay in flight could be spread in large number and wide area upward in space. Novel signals of Tau air-showering must rise beyond the Mountains and at Earth horizons. Their amplified signature may offer a new road to UHE Neutrino Astronomy. We show the rate, the noise, the signature of such novel air-showers on the edge and how to disentangle their imprint from horizontal UHECR.
