| Research Abstract |
We make analytic approaches to evaluate the lateral distributions of the Cherenkov Photons by muons or electron showers produced in the water or ice to observe the high-energy neutrino in the Baikal and IceCube Projects.
For the precise observation of the cosmic-ray electron spectrum with our emulsion chambers, we confirm that the error of our energy determination is within 10% with the accelerator electron beam of 200GeV at CERN. The change of the spectral shape of electrons is evaluated during passing through the atmosphere over the balloons for an additional possible spectrum from the dark matter origin. We also estimate the precise amounts of background electrons produced in the atmosphere over the balloons.
