“…(3.2) can now be used to determine the electromagnetic shower energy. The resulting energy reconstruction algorithm has been implemented as the cosmicRayEnergyReconstructor module in the Nu-RadioReco software framework [31], where one can see the full implementation in detail and use it to reconstruct the energy accordingly [40]. comparing the result to the true energy, we can determine its performance under realistic conditions.…”

Short radio pulses can be measured from showers of both high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. While commonly several antenna stations are needed to reconstruct the energy of an air shower, we describe a novel method that relies on the radio signal measured in one antenna station only. Exploiting a broad frequency bandwidth of 80 − 300 MHz, we obtain a statistical energy resolution of better than 15% on a realistic Monte Carlo set. This method is both a step towards energy reconstruction from the radio signal of neutrino induced showers, as well as a promising tool for cosmic-ray radio arrays. Especially for hybrid arrays where the air shower geometry is provided by an independent detector, this method provides a precise handle on the energy of the shower even with a sparse array.

“…In the detector simulation pillar, we use the NuRa-dioReco code [28] that allows for the simulation of any detector geometry. In particular, it includes a detailed antenna response for a variety of antenna types and arbitrary orientations, treating the full set of complex gains as well as complex triggers such as phased-arrays.…”

NuRadioMC is a Monte Carlo framework designed to simulate ultra-high energy neutrino detectors that rely on the radio detection method. This method exploits the radio emission generated in the electromagnetic component of a particle shower following a neutrino interaction. NuRadioMC simulates everything from the neutrino interaction in a medium, the subsequent Askaryan radio emission, the propagation of the radio signal to the detector and finally the detector response. NuRadioMC is designed as a modern, modular Python-based framework, combining flexibility in detector design with user-friendliness. It includes a stateof-the-art event generator, an improved modelling of the radio emission, a revisited approach to signal propagation and increased flexibility and precision in the detector simulation. This paper focuses on the implemented physics processes and their implications for detector design. A variety of models and parameterizations for the radio emission of neutrino-induced showers are compared and reviewed. Comprehensive examples a are used to discuss the capabilities of the code and different aspects of instrumental design decisions.Keywords Neutrino astronomy · radio detection · simulation · signal processing · ice propagation · Askaryan · PACS 07.05.Kf · 95.85.Ry · 95.55.Vj · 95.85.Bh · 07.05.Tp

Neutrino interactions with protons and neutrons probe their deep structure and may reveal new physics. The higher the neutrino energy, the sharper the probe. So far, the neutrino-nucleon (νN) cross section is known across neutrino energies from a few hundred MeV to a few PeV. Soon, ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos, with energies above 100 PeV, could take us farther. So far, they have evaded discovery, but upcoming UHE neutrino telescopes endeavor to find them. We present the first detailed measurement forecasts of the UHE νN cross section, geared to IceCube-Gen2, one of the leading detectors under planning. We use state-of-the-art ingredients in every stage of our forecasts: in the UHE neutrino flux predictions, the neutrino propagation inside Earth, the emission of neutrino-induced radio signals in the detector, their propagation and detection, and the treatment of backgrounds. After 10 years, if at least a few tens of UHE neutrino-induced events are detected, IceCube-Gen2 could measure the νN cross section at center-of-mass energies of $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s ≈ 10–100 TeV for the first time, with a precision comparable to that of its theory prediction.
