TAMBO: A Novel Neutrino Telescope for High-Energy Astrophysical Neutrino Detection

Abstract: The detection of astrophysical neutrino point sources remains challenging due to atmospheric backgrounds obscuring signal and statistical penalties from the look-elsewhere effect. The Tau Air-shower Mountain-Based Observatory (TAMBO) is a neutrino telescope that achieves unprecedented signal-to-background discrimination in the 1-1000 PeV energy range. Leveraging its unique deep valley geometry, TAMBO will generate an exceptionally pure neutrino sample, enabling precise investigations of neutrino sources. Preliminary sensitivity studies demonstrate TAMBO's potential to map diffuse and point-source neutrino emissions, representing a significant advancement in high-energy neutrino astronomy.
