Abstract

The Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos with energies above 10 18 eV. It can detect down-going and Earth-skimming neutrino-induced events. At large zenith angles, neutrinos can be distinguished from showers initiated by hadrons thanks to the broad time signals they produce in the surface detector. No candidates have been found so far in the accumulated data sample, therefore we can set a stringent upper limit in the diffuse flux of ultra high energy neutrinos.
