Similarly to extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs), neutrinos at energies exceeding 5×10 19 eV are expected to interact in the Earth's atmosphere and create extensive air showers. The JEM-EUSO mission, developed to be hosted onboard the JEM module of the International Space Station, aims at detecting these extensive air showers from space by means of the fluorescent and diffusively reflected Cherenkov light they produce. In the present paper we investigate the capability of JEM-EUSO to trigger and detect neutrino induced events in the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) configuration. We also discuss the status of their reconstruction feasibility considering JEM-EUSO's most recent design, which will be launched with Falcon 9 and delivered to the ISS by the SpaceX Dragon free-flying spacecraft.

An accreting supermassive blackhole, the central engine of active galactic nucleus (AGN), is capable of exciting extreme amplitude Alfven waves whose wavelength (wave packet) size is characterized by its clumpiness. The pondermotive force and wakefield are driven by these Alfven waves propagating in the AGN (blazar) jet and accelerate protons/nuclei to extreme energies beyond Zettaelectron volt (ZeV= 10 21 eV). Such acceleration is prompt, localized, and does not suffer from the multiple scattering/bending enveloped in the Fermi acceleration that causes excessive synchrotron radiation loss beyond 10 19 eV. The production rate of ZeV cosmic rays is found to be consistent with the observed gamma-ray luminosity function of blazars and their time variabilities.
