TITLE : | A search for horizontal air showers induced by extremely high energy energy cosmic neutrinos observed by Akeno Giant Air Shower Array |
ABSTRACT : | |
| We have made a systematic search for air shower events
induced possibly by Extremely High Energy (EHE) cosmic neutrinos
detected by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA).
The lateral distribution of secondary shower particle densities
and their shower front curvature are found to be closely related to
atmospheric depth of the shower maximum which makes it possible
to discriminate anomaly penetrating air shower events from
the regular hadron induced air showers. We have found no significant
enhancement on intensity for deeply penetrating air showers.
The experimental upper bound of EHE neutrino fluxes by the AGASA detector
is obtained to be presented..
