Tau Now D.Fargion D.D’armientoP.Oliva Tau Now 25' PeV neutrino has been found in ICECUBE. The mixing along galactic distance guarantee the presence of PeV Tau neutrinos among astrophysical signals, whose direct detection is subject of deep research since a decade at different UHECR experiments, mostly at EeV energies; these UHE tau neutrino while skimming the Earth (Horizontal Tau airshowers) may shower upward to the sky. The EeV tau neutrino are a guaranteed GZK signal if UHECR are nucleons: But if they are mostly light nuclei as we advocated since 2008, the expected photo_nuclear dissociation (GZK_He) signals is at PeVs. Therefore, kwowing their angular distribution and rate, we propose here a novel detection signature that has not been yet considered. The signal, may be already recorded in AUGER and TA records.

Tau Neutrino Astronomy Why Tau is better? Why Tau is better? A fine tuned gift by Nature… Neutrino electron do not leave long trace+ atmospheric Muon is very penetrating, but unique (no-shower) + atmospheric Both electron and muon are mainly atmospheri Both electron and muon are mainly atmospheric Tau, is not atmospheric above 100GeV Tau, even with mixing, is not atmospheric above 100GeV.. tau track is longer and is..overcoming muon track makes tau AIR-SHOWER and once in air it makes tau AIR-SHOWER :: A NATURAL neutrino AMPLIFIER, BOTH IN NUMBER AND IN SIZE…making easy the detection. Tau neutrino may naturally be born by muon or electron by random oscillation and mix along interstellar and galactic distances: possible by Tiny neutrino mass splitting…(if neutrino mass splitting was larger or much small, or if tau was much or less heavier..no such a miracle....a gift A tau Airshower possibility )..a miracle....a gift KIIA_28_SEPT_2015_Fargion14

CORONAL crown for JEM EUSO Upward Tau at PeVs Euso might also observe along a wide corona the upgoing inclined PeV –tens PeV taus whose Cherenkov beamed (one-few degree) flash is comparable to ten EeV downward Cherenkov reflection for UHECR…It may..it must be observable as being a large wide (diluted) photon shower at 1000 km distances The signal might be a complementary search of tens EeV UHECR observable just into inner vertical cone 400 km in..peculiar geometry in action.. KIIA_28_SEPT_2015_Fargion43

Conclusions Tau at Pevs should be seen by cherenkov flashes at horizons in the night on clouds The AUGER area observed by PeV a Cherenkov reflected event on clouds is comparable with the area of a EeV fluorescence event: at least two event a year might be observed as a Tau PeV event each year (if they did recorded it they may have the AUGER signal record). TA might be able to observe one tau every two years. CTA and other array too. Tau might be observed by multi water tank or air telescope array in mountains or better, vulcanos, making the X-muon-radiography of mountain and the up-tau airshower search from Earth. AUGER fluorescence telescope array, as well CTA and any telescope might inspect clouds in the nights, discovering rare upgoing airshower reflections as a first road to tau neutrino astronomy KIIA_28_SEPT_2015_Fargion44
