The Propagations of GZK (Tau) Neutrinos in Earth Standard and Non-Standard Physics
Downward ~ 10 km ~ few km Rock Salt Horizontal ~ 100 km Earth skimming ~ 500 km Various neutrino incident directions Different distances of propagations inside the Earth before producing showers

Distinguishable from standard-model physics by angular distributions. • For downward directions, flat spectrum measured for E beyond 109 GeV. For the horizontal direction, the measured spectrum is more or less the same as the original.
