Özet

We present results from tests performed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and at FermiLab Meson Test Beam Facility (FNAL) to study electron-muon separation, time of flight resolution and the acceptance for a new EAS detector concept. The very good time resolution and adjustable orientation of the detector permit to separate upward-moving tracks from downward tracks at any orientation with high efficiency. With these performances the detector can measure interaction products from cosmic neutrinos with zenith angles > 90 degrees, defining a chord through the earth as the interaction path. This kind of detector using SiPM will be a part of a large area array (several square kilometer) designed to measure UHE neutrinos (0.01-100 EeV)
