Description
Summary:Detection of radiopulses from moon’s surface employing moon based as well as earth based detectors was proposed about several decades back. Inspired by this novel idea a good number of experimental groups have been continuing such investigations. In this paper a moon based experimental set up for receiving lunar radiopulses and then transmitting the same to earth based or satellite based radio telescope is proposed. Experimental confirmation in 2000 [1] of the Askaryan effect (1965)[2] is the root over which the emerging field of Radio Astronomical Method (RAM) of neutrino detection has been based. Inspired by the theoretical development in this field, quite a good number of sophisticated laboratories are being engaged in the neutrino detection by radio method taking Antarctic ice or moon as interacting media and using earth
