| Summary: | • Test fundamental laws of high energy physics & astrophysics • Probe particle acceleration processes near massive black hole event horizons • Test the nature and origin of the highest energy cosmic rays, via the first observation of their cosmogenic neutrino partners. • Array of quad-ridged horn antennas views ice sheet out to horizon at D ~ 680 km • Utilize Askaryan effect in neutrino cascades: radio pulse mechanism tested at accelerators • ~10o azimuth resolution via antenna beam gradiometry within antenna clusters • ~3o elevation resolution by interferometry between top & bottom antenna clusters • Pulse polarimetry to get additional information on neutrino direction |
