Abstract

Horizontal Air Showers, i.e. events observed at "quasi" horizontal incidence, are studied from EAS-TOP at Campo Imperatore (National Gran Sasso Laboratories). The "reality" of such events as due to deeply penetrating particles is discussed from the experimental point of view. We deduce: - the measurement of the HE muon flux at E_μ = 20 TeV : F_μ(> 20 TeV) = (1.3±0.4) × 10^-11cm^-2s^-1sr^-1, - the upper limit to the extraterrestrial HE neutrino flux: I_ν(> 10⁵GeV) < 5.2 × 10^-9cm^-2s^-1sr^-1. The possibility to develop the technique for UHE ν detection is discussed.
