Cherenkov Radio Pulses from Eev Neutrino Interactions: the Lpm Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the implications of the LPM effect for the Cherenkov radiation of EeV electromagnetic showers in the coherent radiowave regime for ice. We show that for showers above 100 PeV the electric field scales with shower energy but has a markedly narrower angular distribution than for lower energy showers. We give an electric field frequency and angular spectrum parameter-ization valid for showers having energy up to the EeV regime and discuss the implications for neutrino detectors based on arrays of radio antennas. Implications of the LPM effect for under water neutrino detectors in project are also briefly addressed.

The Lpm Effect for Eev Hadronic Showers in Ice: Implications for Radio Detection of Neutrinos
We study the longitudinal development of hadronic showers in ice for energies up to 100 EeV and its implications for radio and optical Cherenkov emission. A small fraction of showers induced by primaries of energy above 1 EeV is shown to display the characteristic elongation associated to the Landau Pomeranchuck Migdal (LPM) effect. The rest look like ordinary showers because the highest energy...
متن کاملProperties of radio pulses from lunar EeV neutrino showers
We present results of the simulation of the intensity distribution of radio pulses from the Moon due to interaction of EeV neutrinos with lunar regolith. The radiation mechanism is of coherent Ĉerenkov radiation of the negative charge excess in the shower, known as Askar’yan effect. Several realistic observational setups with ground radio telescopes are considered. Effective detector volume is ...

متن کاملLimit on UHE neutrino flux from the Parkes lunar radio Cherenkov Experiment
The first search for ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos using a radio telescope was conducted by Hankins, Ekers & O’Sullivan (1996). This was a search for nanosecond duration radio Cherenkov pulses from electromagnetic cascades initiated by ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrino interactions in the lunar regolith, and was made using a broad-bandwidth receiver fitted to the Parkes radio telescope, Austr...
متن کامل0 Role of Group and Phase Velocity in High - Energy Neutrino Observatories
Kuzmichev recently showed that use of phase velocity rather than group velocity for Cherenkov light signals and pulses from calibration lasers in high-energy neutrino telescopes leads to errors in track reconstruction and distance measurement. We amplify on his remarks and show that errors for four cases of interest to AMANDA, IceCube, and RICE (radio Cherenkov detector) are negligibly small.
