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...

description	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 observe the fluorescence light produced by the air showers initiated by the extreme energy component of the cosmic rays, including gamma rays and neutrinos. In this work we study the discrimination capability of the mission between nearly horizontal neutrino and proton showers, at the highest energies, by using the atmospheric depth of maximum development.
