1. On the Characteristics of the Neutrino Events in (Ultra-)High Energy Astrophysics Experiments from the view point of Energy Estimation Akeo Misaki Research Institute For Science and engineering, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan

2. Invitation to a point in dispute The Fundamental parameters in (Ultra-)High Energy Astrophysics are: 1.Reliable Estimation of the Energies of the Neutrino Events 2. Reliable Estimation of the Incident Direction of the Neutrino Events To invite the participants to a point dispute, let us start from CONCLUSION, not INTRODUCTION.

3. Conclusion 1 1. Muon Neutrino Events: Inevitably Partially Contained Events One could not even estimate the energies of the muons from muon neutrino events (! ?) 2. Electron Neutrino Events: Usually, Fully Contained Events. Inevitably, Partially Contained Events in Ultra-High Energies (LPM shower)

4. Conclusion 2 COMPUTER NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS should be carried out simultaneously together with the REAL XPERIMENTS CONCERNED, not in the usual sense of Monte Carlo Simulation.

5. Range Fluctuation of (Ultra)-High Energy Muons The Muon Range with Definite Energy is governed by the stochastic characters of the direct electron pair production, remsstrahlung and nuclear interaction which are also the origins of the accompanied electron showers.

6. Range Fluctuation of (Ultra-) High Energy Muon

7. The Image of (Ultra-)High Energy Muon Muons from Muon Neutrino Events should be recognized as an aggregate of electron cascade showers with different starting points and different primary energies. “Electron clouds” are twined around such the muon. Namely, the muon could not be imaged as “Single or Naked Muon “

8. Is the Muon Itself the Dominant Source for the Cherenkov Light ? For the question, it enough to examine the track lengths concerned, because the Cherenkov light production is proportional to the corresponding track length. Ratio= track lengths of electrons from the accompanied showers/(track lengths of electrons from the accompanied showers + track length of the muon )

9. The transition curves for the integral of the track lengths from the muon as whole

10. Cherenkov Light from the Mother Muon and Her Daughters Electron Shower Accompanied electron showers are produced from the direct electron pair production, beremsstrahlung and nuclear interaction due to muon. These electron showers are exactly simulated in one-dimensional treatment. The electron segments in the simulated electron showers produced corresponding Cherenkov light

In the presence of the Computer numerical experiment, one need not the transformation from the Cherenkov light to the Muon Energy
