Acoustic particle detection - from early ideas to future benefits
arXiv:1010.3082 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2010.11.010
Abstract
The history of acoustic neutrino detection technology is shortly reviewed from first ideas 50 years ago to the detailed R&D programs of the last decade. The physics potential of ultra-high energy neutrino interaction studies is discussed for some examples. Ideas about the necessary detector size and suitable design are presented.
