Unusual Near-Horizon Cosmic-Ray-like Events Observed by ANITA-IV
ANITA’s fourth long-duration balloon flight in 2016 detected 29 cosmic-ray (CR)-like events on a background of 0.37 + 0.27 − 0.17 anthropogenic events. CRs are mainly seen in reflection off the Antarctic ice sheets, creating a phase-inverted waveform polarity. However, four of the below-horizon CR-l...
