Abstract

Neutrinos are the most weakly-interacting particles they can escape from dense interior of cosmic objects, which are opaque to electromagnetic waves. They are not deflected by magnetic fields in their path as they are charge-less. They point back to their sources of origin. At very high energies number of cosmic neutrinos arrive on Earth are very few. Some of these VHE neutrinos will interact with a nucleus and produce charged particles. These secondary particles will produce Cherenkov lights in a transparent medium.
