A straight-forward template matching analysis yielded no neutrino candidates, with a signal efficiency of 79%. We find a 90% confidence upper limit on the diffuse neutrino flux of $E^2\Phi=1.7\times 10^{-6}\mathrm{GeV cm^{-2}s^{-1}sr^{-1}}$ for a decade wide logarithmic bin centered at a neutrino energy of $10^{18}\mathrm{eV}$, which is an order of magnitude improvement compared to the previous limit reported by the ARIANNA collaboration. The ARIANNA stations, including purpose built cosmic-ray stations at the Moore's Bay site and demonstrator stations at the South Pole, have operated reliably. Sustained operation at two distinct sites confirms that the flexible and adaptable architecture can be deployed in any deep ice, radio quiet environment. We show that the scientific capabilities, technical innovations, and logistical requirements of ARIANNA are sufficiently well understood to serve as the basis for large area radio-based neutrino telescope with a wide field-of-view. : Published by IOP, London Article in Journal/Newspaper Antarc* Antarctica Ice Shelf Ross Ice Shelf South pole South pole DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology) Ross Ice Shelf South Pole |
