SUMMARY:A feasibility study of detecting 1e18 eV neutrinos with a dedi
 cated Cherenkov Telescope Array\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) 
 Forum\, Nepomuk Otte \, Georgia Tech
DESCRIPTION:The detection of astrophysical neutrinos with IceCube and 
 solid predictions of the flux of cosmogenic neutrinos have renewed the
  interest in detecting neutrinos at 10^9 GeV. To date no experiment ex
 ists with sufficient sensitivity at these energies and thus the motiva
 tion for this study. I take a fresh look at the Earth-skimming techniq
 ue in which a tau neutrino converts in the Earth's mantle and the deca
 y products of the tau are detected with Cherenkov telescopes that moni
 tor a large volume of atmosphere. In this talk I present a conceptual 
 design study of an array of Cherenkov telescopes that is optimized for
  10^9 GeV and has a sensitivity that is competitive with other propose
 d experiments.
