Abstract

We study the potential of the Pierre Auger detector for horizontal air showers initiated by ultra high energy neutrino. Assuming some simple trigger requirements we obtain measurable event rates for neutrino fluxes from AGN, from topological defects and from the interactions of cosmic rays with the microwave background.
