摘要
The propagation of extremely energetic v(tau)'s through the Earth is studied by means of a detailed Monte Carlo simulation. All major mechanisms of v(tau) interactions and tau energy loss as well as all its relevant decay modes are properly taken into account. The detection possibility of v(tau)'s emerging from Earth in forthcoming neutrino telescopes is addressed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
