论文摘要
高能天体中微子最近由IceCube发现，直到几个PEV的能量，为高能量宇宙打开了一个新窗口。然而，尚待众所周知。 IceCube具有出色的MUON风味识别，但Tau风味识别却具有挑战性。这限制了其探测中微子物理和天体物理学的能力。为了解决这一局限性，我们提出了一个概念，用于在1-100 PEV范围内的天体物理Tau中微子的大规模观测值，其中保证存在通量。它的检测将使我们能够表征IceCube观察到的中微子来源，发现新的中微子，并在高能量下测试中微子物理。我们提出的深谷空调阵列概念提供了高度支持背景的中微子检测，指向分辨率<1度，从而使我们能够开始高能量tau-neutrino天文学的时代。
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos, recently discovered by IceCube up to energies of several PeV, opened a new window to the high-energy Universe. Yet much remains to be known. IceCube has excellent muon flavor identification, but tau flavor identification is challenging. This limits its ability to probe neutrino physics and astrophysics. To address this limitation, we present a concept for a large-scale observatory of astrophysical tau neutrinos in the 1-100 PeV range, where a flux is guaranteed to exist. Its detection would allow us to characterize the neutrino sources observed by IceCube, to discover new ones, and test neutrino physics at high energies. The deep-valley air-shower array concept that we present provides highly background-suppressed neutrino detection with pointing resolution <1 degree, allowing us to begin the era of high-energy tau-neutrino astronomy.
