Abstract content
The prototype Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescopes (CRTNT) are operated at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Observatory (4300 m a.s.l Tibet, P.R.China). To evaluate the performance of the CRTNT prototype, two telescopes are operated in stereoscopic mode and in coincidence with the ARGO-YBJ detector. Air shower simulation (based on CORSIKA), detector simulation, and event reconstruction are combined together to study the performance of CRTNT prototype. The detector aperture as a function of shower energy above 10^13 eV and event rate above 10^14 eV will be presented in the conference.
