dc.descriptionThe MAGIC telescope located on the Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary Island La Palma at a height of 2200 m a.s.l. is able to point to the sea. This permits a search for air shower signatures induced by particles coming out of the Earth. An analytical approximation results in tau neutrino effective areas from ~10^3 m^2 (at 100 TeV) to 10^5 m^2 (at 1 EeV) for an observation angle of about 1 degree below the horizon, rapidly diminishing with further inclination. Taking into account the huge effective area, this configuration was investigated for its suitability to search for ultra-high energy (UHE) tau-neutrino signatures. The outcome of simulations for tau-neutrino signatures will be presented, models for astrophysical neutrino sources reviewed, and estimated event rates in MAGIC are shown.
