Neutrinos are a very promising messenger at tens of EeV and above. They can be produced by several channels, namely as by products of hadronic interactions at the sources, as the main products of the decay of super massive particles and, in a guaranteed way, as the result of the propagation of UHECR through the bath of microwave relic photons. A new era of very large exposure space observatories, of which the JEM-EUSO mission is a prime example, is on the horizon and, with it, it is even larger the possibility of astrophysical neutrino detection at the highest energies. In the present work we use a combination of the PYTHIA interaction code with the CONEX shower simulation package in order to produce fast one-dimensional simulations of neutrino initiated showers in air. We make a detail study of the structure of the corresponding longitudinal profiles, but focus our physical analysis mainly on the development of showers at mid and high altitudes, where they can be an interesting target for space fluorescence observatories.

Bethe-Heitler cascades as a plausible origin of hard spectra in distant TeV blazars
上下文遥远TeV耀变体的甚高能(VHE)$γ$射线测量可以很好地解释由超高能宇宙射线引起的TeV谱。目的。我们开发了一个模型,在遥远的TeV耀变体的硬光谱的一个合理的起源。方法.在该模型中,遥远TeV耀变体中的TeV辐射主要由两个混合分量组成。第一个是相对论电子对同步辐射光子(SSC)的逆康普顿散射产生的光子能量约为1 TeV的内部分量,并对河外背景光吸收进行了修正;第二个是高能质子在星系际空间传播产生的级联辐射产生的光子能量大于1 TeV的外部分量。结果假设合适的模型参数,我们将该模型应用到遥远的TeV耀变体1 ES 0229+200的观测光谱。我们的结果表明:1)观察到的1 ES 0229+200的光谱特性,特别是观察到的光谱的TeV $γ$射线尾,2)预期的TeV $γ$射线谱(光子能量为$>$ 1 TeV,1 ES 0229+200)应与切伦科夫望远镜阵列(CTA)的50小时灵敏度目标相当和大型高空空气簇射观测站(LHAASO)一年观测的微分灵敏度曲线。结论.我们认为,强有力的证据贝特-海特勒级联沿视线的硬光谱在遥远的TeV耀变体的一个合理的起源,可以从VHE观测CTA,LHAASO,HAWC,和HiSCORE。
