Acoustic Neutrino Detection in Ice: Past, Present, and Future
Acoustic neutrino detection is a promising technique to instrument the large volumes required to measure the small expected flux of ultra-high energy cosmogenic neutrinos. Using ice as detection medium allows for coincident detection of neutrino interactions with acoustic sensors, radio antennas and...

Acoustic neutrino detection is a promising technique to instrument the large volumes required to measure the small expected flux of ultra-high energy cosmogenic neutrinos. Using ice as detection medium allows for coincident detection of neutrino interactions with acoustic sensors, radio antennas and optical light sensors with the benefit of cross calibration possibilities or independent measurements of the the same event. We review the past development of the field and discuss its current status and challenges. Results from site exploration studies, mainly by the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) which has been codeployed with the IceCube neutrino telescope at South Pole, and current physics results are presented. Current ideas for the design, calibration, and deployment of acoustic sensors for new projects are shown. The possible role of the acoustic technique in future in-ice neutrino detectors is discussed. : 7 pages, 6 figures, presented at the 5th International workshop on Acoustic and Radio EeV Neutrino detection Activities - ARENA 2012 |
