Lunar Radio Cherenkov Observations of Ultra High Energy Neutrinos

September 16

12:10PM, Room 230, NRAO, Edgemont Road

Abstract:

I will discuss some of the issues and techniques needed for sensitive radio detection of the nsec pulses from UHE neutrino events in the lunar regolith. Experiments using single telescopes and both incoherent and coherent detection with arrays are possible but there are a number of interesting issues. I will describe our current experiments using ATCA and Parkes and show new calculations of the sensitivity of future experiments using the SKA.
