HiCal 2: An instrument designed for calibration of the ANITA experiment and for Antarctic surface reflectivity measurements
S. Prohira, A. Novikov, D. Z. Besson +55
The NASA supported High-Altitude Calibration (HiCal)-2 instrument flew as a companion balloon to the ANITA-4 experiment in December 2016. Based on a HV discharge pulser producing r…
Particle-level model for radar based detection of high-energy neutrino cascades
S Prohira, D Besson
We present a particle-level model for calculating the radio scatter of incident RF radiation from the plasma formed in the wake of a particle shower. We incorporate this model into…
Dynamic tunable notch filters for the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA)
P. Allison, O. Banerjee, J. J. Beatty +56
The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) is a NASA long-duration balloon experiment with the primary goal of detecting ultra-high-energy ($>10^{18}\,\mbox{eV}$) neutrinos…
Implementation of a custom time-domain firmware trigger for RADAR-based cosmic ray detection
S Prohira, D Besson, S Kunwar +2
Interest in Radio-based detection schemes for ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) has surged in recent years, owing to the potentially very low cost/detection ratio. The method o…
Antarctic Surface Reflectivity Measurements from the ANITA-3 and HiCal-1 Experiments
P. W. Gorham, P. Allison, O. Banerjee +53
The primary science goal of the NASA-sponsored ANITA project is measurement of ultra-high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays, observed via radio-frequency signals resulting from a ne…
