In this paper, we compute the corresponding number of events for PeV‐energy neutrinos for typical neutrino telescopes as in the IceCube experiment. We consider different parametrizations for the νN cross‐section, including predictions from the geometric scaling phenomenon. The theoretical uncertainty for the number of events is investigated and compared with usual quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations.
