  2. Ultra high energy particles are detected by measuring the induced air showers. • Detecting radio emission is one way to measure the air shower. • Radio emission can be produced by charged particles gyrating the geomagnetic field. • An earth-skimmingtau neutrino will induce an air shower after turning into tau. • Resulted emission is calculated in the coherent geosynchrotron model.(Huege and Falcke, A&A, 2003)

  25. Summary • We analyzed the radio property of tau neutrino induced shower. • Shower profile has universal features. • The universal Lorentz and lateral distributions allow to adapt fitting formulae in calculation. • The coherent geosynchrotron model, though incomplete, rendered a picture for detecting tau neutrino by radio emission. • This work provide a basis to develop a realistic simulation. • It also is a good reference for experiments design.
