Descripción
MAGIC, as well as HESS and VERITAS, is a Čerenkov Telescope
unveiling γ-ray sources above 60 GeV at vertical within noisy
(hadronic) airshowering sky. These telescopes while facing the horizons
may reveal rarest blazing UHECR as well as far fluorescence tails of
downward PeV-EeV hadronic airshowers. Few of these inclined airshowers
blazing on axis are spread by the geomagnetic field into twin spots.
These twin flashes and their morphology may tag the UHECR origination
site. There is a rich window of such reflecting Čerenkov lights
visible by Telescopes on top of Mountains as MAGIC (and partially
VERITAS): the reflections from the nearby ground (possibly enhanced by
rain or snow, ice white cover), from the Sea and from the cloudy sky; in
particular, these cloudy sheets may lay above or below the observer.
MAGIC looking downward to the clouds or the snow, may well reveal
blazing Moliere disks diffusing Čerenkov spots (few events per
night). Because of geomagnetic forces and splitting of the inclined
air-shower, one should reveal for the first time (at tens PeV or above)
Čerenkov airshowers whose flashes are skimming the MAGIC nearby
Sea and opened into twin spots. Their morphology may tag the UHECR
origination, its consequent cross-section and composition. Magic
telescopes looking upward into cloudy sky may observe very rare up-going
UHE Tau, originated by UHE PeVs neutrinos skimming earth, air-showering
into sky, reflecting into clouds. In particular Glashow resonant
antineutrinos electron hitting into Earth electrons may lead to gauged
boson W-, whose decay (inside the Earth) may produce a τ
+ bar nuτ [3], which later escape and decay in air is producing
Čerenkov lights; these flashes may blaze into the clouds above
MAGIC as upward dot spots. The Magic energy threshold for such UHE
Neutrinos showers rises to PeV values. EeV UHE tau neutrinos by
guaranteed GZK UHECR secondaries [6, 16], via the muon-tau flavor
mixing, may skim the Earth, produce UHE tau particles whose escape in
air and decay in flight may blaze Magic or reflect Čerenkov light
at opposite far cloudy sky edges. Any collaboration (MAGIC,HESS,VERITAS)
will be willing to dedicate cloudy time to UHECR physics since nothing
else can be done in that time. These reflections may open a totally new
UHECR spectroscopy while unveiling a rare, but loud Tau Neutrino
astronomy [10, 8].
