Trigger system for the Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO) balloon-borne neutrino detector
Q. Abarr, J. Alfaro, P. Allison +67
The Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO) is a NASA balloon-borne instrument for the detection of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos with energies above $10^{17.5}~\textr…
Modeling the refractive index profile n(z) of polar ice for ultra-high energy neutrino experiments
S. Ali, P. Allison, S. Archambault +67
We have developed an in-situ index of refraction profile n(z) for cold polar ice, using the transit times of radio signals broadcast from an englacial transmitter to 2-5 km distant…
Calibration and Physics with ARA Station 1: A Unique Askaryan Radio Array Detector
M. F. H Seikh, D. Z. Besson, S. Ali +70
The Askaryan Radio Array Station 1 (A1), the first among five autonomous stations deployed for the ARA experiment at the South Pole, is a unique ultra-high energy neutrino (UHEN) d…
The SLAC T-510 experiment for radio emission from particle showers: detailed simulation study and interpretation
K. Bechtol, K. Belov, K. Borch +26
Over the last several decades, radio detection of air showers has been widely used to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. We developed an experiment under controlled laboratory c…
Triboelectric Backgrounds to radio-based UHE Neutrino Exeperiments
J. A. Aguilar, A. Anker, P. Allison +114
The proposed IceCube-Gen2 (ICG2) seeks to instrument ~500 sq. km of Antarctic ice near the geographic South Pole with radio antennas, in order to observe the highest energy (E>1 Ee…
Antarctic Surface Reflectivity Calculations and Measurements from the ANITA-4 and HiCal-2 Experiments
S. Prohira, A. Novikov, P. Dasgupta +54
The balloon-borne HiCal radio-frequency (RF) transmitter, in concert with the ANITA radio-frequency receiver array, is designed to measure the Antarctic surface reflectivity in the…
Measurement of the real dielectric permittivity epsilon_r of glacial ice
P. Allison, S. Archambault, J. Auffenberg +66
Using data collected by the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) experiment at the South Pole, we have used long-baseline propagation of radio-frequency signals to extract information on the…
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…
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…
Accelerator measurements of magnetically-induced radio emission from particle cascades with applications to cosmic-ray air showers
K. Belov, K. Mulrey, A. Romero-Wolf +25
For fifty years, cosmic-ray air showers have been detected by their radio emission. We present the first laboratory measurements that validate electrodynamics simulations used in a…
A next generation Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO-100) for IR/optical observations of the rise phase of gamma-ray bursts
B. Grossan, I. H. Park, S. Ahmad +39
The Swift Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) observatory responds to GRB triggers with optical observations in ~ 100 s, but cannot respond faster than ~ 60 s. While some ground-based telescopes…
Design and Initial Performance of the Askaryan Radio Array Prototype EeV Neutrino Detector at the South Pole
P. Allison, J. Auffenberg, R. Bard +45
We report on studies of the viability and sensitivity of the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA), a new initiative to develop a Teraton-scale ultra-high energy neutrino detector in deep, ra…
