VHE neutrino pilot observation with the Ashra detector

The Ashra Experiment aims to catch the signals from air showers made by VHE cosmic rays with a newly developed detector. Its main features are an optics with high angular resolution and wide FOV, and an intelligent triggering system to obtain fine airshower images. These characteristics are suitable for monitoring observation for emissions from transient objects in the Universe. Here we report the results from a pilot observation for neutrino emissions from objects, with the Earth-skimming neutrino detection technique. Even though it is a preliminary one, this is the first astrophysical result from the triggered images obtained in the Ashra Mauna Loa Site.
