30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE ARIANNA: A New Concept for UHE Neutrino Detection
Abstract: The ARIANNA concept utilizes the Ross Ice Shelf near the coast of Antarctica to increase the sensitivity to cosmogenic neutrinos by roughly an order of magnitude when compared to the sen-sitivity of existing detectors and those under construction. Therefore, ARIANNA can test a wide vari-et...

Therefore, ARIANNA can test a wide vari-ety of scenarios for GZK neutrino production, and probe for physics beyond the standard model by measuring the neutrino cross-section at center of mass energies near 100 TeV. ARIANNA capitalizes on several remarkable properties of the Ross Ice Shelf: shelf ice is relatively transparent to electro-magnetic radiation at radio frequencies and the water-ice boundary below the shelf creates a good mirror to reflect radio signals from interactions by neutrinos traveling downward. The high sensitivity results from nearly six months (or more) of continuous operation, low energy threshold (~3x1017 eV), and more than 2π of sky coverage. The baseline concept for ARIANNA consists of moderately high gain antenna stations arranged on a 100 x 100 square grid, separated by about 300m. Each station consists of eight linearly polarized antennas residing just beneath the snow surface, facing down-wards. They communicate with each other and with a central control hub by wireless links to generate global triggers. This paper describes the ARIANNA concept, science goals, and recent progress in the development of the detector. Text Antarc* Antarctica Ice Shelf Ross Ice Shelf Unknown Ross Ice Shelf |
