Description
While IceCube has measured the flux of astrophysical neutrinos at energies up to several PeV, much remains to be discovered regarding their origin and nature. The Tau Air-Shower Mountain-Based Observatory (TAMBO), comprised of 5000 particle detectors deployed in a steep valley, offers a cost-effective method to detect supra-PeV neutrinos. TAMBO is specifically designed to detect tau neutrinos in the energy range from 1 PeV to 100 PeV, where tau neutrinos are a smoking gun signature of astrophysical neutrinos. As a stepping stone toward the full detector, the TAMBITO array is a 100-detector-scale demonstrator that will be deployed in the Peruvian Colca Valley.
