An Andean Deep-Valley Detector for High-Energy Tau Neutrinos

Understand

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.
