• Ultra high energy particles are detected by measuring the induced air showers.
• Detecting radio emission is one way to measure the air shower.
• Radio emission can be produced by charged particles gyrating the geomagnetic field.
• An earth-skimming tau neutrino will induce an air shower after turning into tau.
• Resulted emission is calculated in the coherent geosynchrotron model.(Huege and Falcke, A&A, 2003)

• The shower comes from em cascades of tau decay products, dominantly
• We simulate electron showers at energies of 10^16.5, 10^17, 10^17.5, 10^18 and 10^18.5 eV.
• These energies correspond to comogenic neutrinos.• Shower structure, angular and energy distribution, is
adapted to calculate the synchrotron radiation.• The pattern of the radiation field and the radio pulse
are presented.

Summary
• We analyzed the radio property of tau neutrino induced shower.
• Shower profile has universal features.• The universal Lorentz and lateral distributions allow to
adapt fitting formulae in calculation.• The coherent geosynchrotron model, though
incomplete, rendered a picture for detecting tau neutrino by radio emission.
• This work provide a basis to develop a realistic simulation.
• It also is a good reference for experiments design.
