Neutrino astrophysics with JEM-EUSO

High energy neutrinos play a fundamental role on the understanding of several astrophysical phenomena and, in particular, on the origin and propagation of extreme energy cosmic rays. JEM-EUSO is a proposed orbital detector to be installed onboard the International Space Station. It is designed to ob...
