Limits on the Ultra-High Energy Electron Neutrino Flux from the RICE Experiment

Upper limits are presented on the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy electron neutrinos, based on analysis of data taken by the RICE experiment during August, 2000. The RICE receiver array at South Pole monitors cold ice for radio-wavelength Cherenkov radiation resulting from neutrino-induced in-ice...
