accelerated protons interact:
=> the energy fluences in -rays and neutrinos are comparable due to isospin symmetry.
For neutrinos the observable spectrumis practically identical to the productionspectrum, whereas -rays pile up belowthe pair production threshold on theCMB at a few 1014 eV.The Universe acts as a calorimeter forthe total injected electromagnetic energyabove the pair threshold. This constrainsgamma but only part of the neutrino fluxes.

• Solar,Supernovae Neutrino Astronomy are probed.• Cosmic rays flux as rich as BBR, being charged, are
bent and smeared, blinding most CR astronomy.• UHECR are direct, but BBR cut them, GZK cut , locally.• UHECR themselves must produce GZK- EeV neutrinos. • AGN, GRBs, Star Burst Galaxy must also produce PeV neutrinos. • UHE neutrinos must emerge above atmospheric
neutrino noises: muons tracks and tau showers by their decay in flight (double bang) are their best trace.

Why Horizontal – Upward Tau air-showers are easier to be revealed
than muon tracks ?
Because an air- shower is amplified By its huge secondary number.Millions muons, billions gamma and e-pairs, trillions or more Cerenkov photons.
Muon is single, alone and shine little.

Why Horizontal – Upward Tau Showering is so much linked to neutrino mass and mixing ?Because mixing, even for minimal masses guarantee the flavour transformation from Muon Neutrinos to the Tau Neutrinos. Galactic and cosmic distances are huge respect oscillation lenghts.
