“…If the waveform is recorded in many antennas and the signal-to-noise ratio is large enough, the properties of the electric field emitted by the particle shower can be reconstructed. The electric field then allows one to extrapolate properties of the primary particle, as for example shown in [29] or in [30] for cosmic rays.…”

The detection of the radio emission following a neutrino interaction in ice is a promising technique to obtain significant sensitivities to neutrinos with energies above Petaelectronvolts (10 15 eV). The detectable radio emission stems from particle showers in the ice. So far, detector simulations have considered only the radio emission from the primary interaction of the neutrino. For this study, existing simulation tools have been extended to cover secondary interactions from muons and taus. We find that secondary interactions of both leptons add up to 25% to the effective volume of neutrino detectors. Also, muon and tau neutrinos can create several detectable showers, with the result that double signatures do not constitute an exclusive signature for tau neutrinos. We also find that the background of atmospheric muons from cosmic rays is non-negligible for in-ice arrays and that an air shower veto should be considered helpful for radio detectors.

“…In addition, the radio signal is only sensitive to the electromagnetic air-shower component whereas IceTop and especially IceCube provides a complementary measurement of the hadronic shower component which allows for a measurement of the cosmic-ray mass (Holt et al, 2019). This is facilitated by a newly developed technique to determine the air-shower energy from a single radio detector station (Welling et al, 2019). Also, the radio signal of inclined air showers, where this technique works best, extends over a large area (Aab et al, 2018).…”

The measurement of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos (E > 10 16 eV) opens a new field of astronomy with the potential to reveal the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays especially if combined with observations in the electromagnetic spectrum and gravitational waves. The ARIANNA pilot detector explores the detection of UHE neutrinos with a surface array of independent radio detector stations in Antarctica which allows for a cost-effective instrumentation of large volumes. Twelve stations are currently operating successfully at the Moore's Bay site (Ross Ice Shelf) in Antarctica and at the South Pole. We will review the current state of ARIANNA and its main results. We report on a newly developed wind generator that successfully operates in the harsh Antarctic conditions and powers the station for a substantial time during the dark winter months. The robust ARIANNA surface architecture, combined with environmentally friendly solar and wind power generators, can be installed at any deep ice location on the planet and operated autonomously. We report on the detector capabilities to determine the neutrino direction by reconstructing the signal arrival direction of a 800 m deep calibration pulser, and the reconstruction of the signal polarization using the more abundant cosmic-ray air showers. Finally, we describe a large-scale design -ARIA -that capitalizes on the successful experience of the ARIANNA operation and is designed sensitive enough to discover the first UHE neutrino.
