Tau Neutrinos at EeV Energies

Astrophysical sources of ultrahigh energy neutrinos yield tau neutrino fluxes due to neutrino oscillations. At neutrino energies in the EeV range, radio Cherenkov detection methods show promise for detecting these fluxes. We quantify the tau neutrino contributions to the signal in, for example, a detector like the Radio Ice Cherenkov Experiment (RICE) for a Z-burst flux prediction. Tau neutrino regeneration in transit through the Earth, including energy loss, is evaluated.
