摘要

Future space-based experiments, such as OWL [1] and JEM-EUSO [2], view large atmospheric and terres-trialneutrino targets. With energy thresholds slightly above 1019eV for observing airshowers via air fluorescence, thepotential for observing the cosmogenic neutrino flux associated with the GZK effect is limited. However, the forwardCherenkov signal associated with the airshower can be observed at much lower energies. A simulation was developed todetermine the Cherenkov signal strength and spatial extent at low-Earth orbit for upward-moving airshowers. A modelof tau neutrino interactions in the Earth was employed to determine the event rate of interactions that yielded a tau leptonwhich would induce an upward-moving airshower observable by a space-based instrument. The effect of neutrino attenu-ationby the Earth forces the viewing of the Earth's limb to observe the u0017 -induced Cherenkov airshower signal at abovethe OWL Cherenkov energy threshold of -1016.5eV for limb-viewed events. Furthermore, the neutrino attenuation lim-itsthe effective terrestrial neutrino target area to -3 × 105km2at 1017eV, for an orbit of 1000 km and an instrumentalfull Field-of-View of 45. This translates into an observable cosmogenic neutrino event rate of 1/year based upon twodifferent models of the cosmogenic neutrino flux, assuming neutrino oscillations and a 10% duty cycle for observation.
