The sensitivity of high-energy neutrino telescopes in detecting μ's produced in the interactions in the Earth of νμ, ν¯μ of astrophysical origin, was calculated, via a Monte Carlo program, where the most recent parametrizations of the nucleon parton distribution functions have been taken into account in the simulation of the νμ CC, ν¯μ CC events. The dependence of the sensitivity on the parameters of the detector (energy threshold Eth and angular resolution σR) as well as on the source spectral index was determined. It was shown that, for energy threshold in the range 6 GeV ≤ Eth ≤ 100 GeV and angular resolution σR = 0.5 - 1.0°, the sensitivity does not critically depend on the spectral index γ. The hope is to use the results in designing new installations.
