Lunar Satellite Detection of Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos with the Use of Radio Methods

Radio Detection of UHE-Neutrinos: Cosmic Tracers of the High Energy Universe

Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays is a fundamental unsolved problem in both high-energy physics and astrophysics. Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos provide a key probe to the nature and location of cosmic ray engines since they travel essentially unimpeded from their source to our solar system, providing a directional tracer of their origin. The first generation of UHE n...

Lunar detection of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos with the Square Kilometre Array

30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Radio Detection of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays

The radio technique for the detection of cosmic particles has seen a major revival in recent years. New and planned experiments in the lab and the field, such as GLUE, Anita, LUNASKA, Codalema, LOPES as well as sophisticated Monte Carlo experiments have produced a wealth of new information and I review here briefly some of the main results with the main focus on air showers. Radio emission of u...

Limit 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...

The Radio Cerenkov Technique for Ultra-High Energy Neutrino Detection

I review the status of the Radio Cerenkov detection technique in searches for ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos of cosmic origin. After outlining the physics motivations for UHE neutrino searches, I give an overview of the status of current and proposed experiments in the field.
