In situ, broadband measurement of the radio frequency attenuation length at Summit Station, Greenland
Over the last 25 years, radiowave detection of neutrino-generated signals, using cold polar ice as the neutrino target, has emerged as perhaps the most promising technique for detection of extragalactic ultra-high energy neutrinos (corresponding to neutrino energies in excess of 0.01 Joules, or $10^...

description |
Over the last 25 years, radiowave detection of neutrino-generated signals, using cold polar ice as the neutrino target, has emerged as perhaps the most promising technique for detection of extragalactic ultra-high energy neutrinos (corresponding to neutrino energies in excess of 0.01 Joules, or $10^{17}$ electron volts). During the summer of 2021 and in tandem with the initial deployment of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G), we conducted radioglaciological measurements at Summit Station, Greenland to refine our understanding of the ice target. We report the result of one such measurement, the radio-frequency electric field attenuation length $L_α$. We find an approximately linear dependence of $L_α$ on frequency with the best fit of the average field attenuation for the upper 1500 m of ice: $\langle L_α\rangle = \big( (1024 \pm 50) - (0.65 \pm 0.06) (ν/$MHz$)\big)$ m for frequencies $ν\in [145 - 350]$ MHz. : 12 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Journal of Glaciology |
