Abstract content
A Tau lepton can be produced in a charged current interaction of cosmic ray tau neutrino with materials inside a mountain. If it escapes from mountain, it will decay and initiate a shower in the air, which can be detected by air shower fluorescence/Cerenkov light detector. A Monte Carlo simulation for CRTNT (Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescopes) detector near Mt. Balikun in Xinjiang, China, is performed and the results of detected and reconstructed event rates are presented in this paper.
