The coplanar emission of very high energy secondary cosmic rays was observed at stratospheric altitudes by the X-ray emulsion chamber experiments ECHOS-Concorde and RUNJOB. This paper treats the physical relevancy of the experimental observations using Monte Carlo calculations carried out with the help of the CORSIKA program. Different high energy hadronic interaction models have been used to study the possible dependence of this effect upon the primary particle mass number.

Astrophysical sources of ultrahigh energy neutrinos yield tau neutrino fluxes due to neutrino oscillations. We study in detail the contribution of tau neutrinos with energies above 106 GeV relative to the contribution of the other flavors. We consider several different initial neutrino fluxes and include tau neutrino regeneration in transit through the Earth and energy loss of charged leptons. We discuss signals of tau neutrinos in detectors such as IceCube, RICE and ANITA.

This paper is aimed at studying the feasibility of building an Earth-skimming cosmic tau neutrinos detector, with the aim of eventually identifying the ideal dimensions of a natural site mountain-valley for the detection of very high energy neutrinos tau range from 1 0 16 eV to 1 0 20 eV , as well as possibly locate one such site in Algeria. First, a Monte Carlo simulation of the neutrino-[mountain] matter interaction as well as the resulting decay of the tau lepton is conducted to determine the optimal dimensions of the mountain as well as the location of the tau decay in the valley. Second, a CORSIKA (COsmic Ray Simulation for KAscade) simulation with the CONEX option is conducted to track the evolution of the almost horizontal air shower initiated by the tau lepton. Many particles are produced, which are part of the shower components: electrons, muons, gammas, pions, etc. The study of the spatial distribution of these particles enables the discovery of the optimal width of the valley, and consequently, the distance at which to lay the detection network.

AbstractMarkarian 421 (Mrk 421) is one of the brightest, fastest and closest BL Lac objects known. Its very high energy (VHE) spectrum has been successfully modeled with both leptonic and hadronic models and no conclusive results have been achieved yet about the origin of its VHE emission. Here we investigate the possibility that a fraction of the VHE flares of Mrk 421 are due to hadronic processes and calculate the expected associated neutrino flux. We introduce the obtained neutrino flux in a Monte Carlo simulation to see the expectation for a km3 Cherenkov neutrino telescope.
