Deep-Sea Acoustic Neutrino Detection and the AMADEUS System as a Multi-Purpose Acoustic Array
The use of conventional neutrino telescope methods and technology for detecting neutrinos with energies above 1EeV from astrophysical sources would be prohibitively expensive and may turn out to be technically not feasible. Acoustic detection is a promising alternative for future deep-sea neutrino telescopes operating in this energy regime. It utilises the effect that the energy deposit of the ...
متن کاملA versatile compact array calibrator for UHE neutrino acoustic detection
In situ acoustic calibration devices are necessary to assure the optimal performance of sensors and detectors for the acoustic detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos in underwater telescopes. Moreover, they provide evidences for the feasibility evaluation of the technique and for the determination of the entire detector efficiency. Following previous studies related to parametric acoustic sou...
متن کاملTowards Acoustic Detection of UHE Neutrinos in the Mediterranean Sea – The AMADEUS Project in ANTARES
The acoustic detection method is a promising option for future neutrino telescopes operating in the ultra-high energy regime. It utilises the effect that a cascade evolving from a neutrino interaction generates a sound wave, and is applicable in different target materials like water, ice and salt. Described here are the developments in and the plans for the research on acoustic particle detecti...
متن کاملOceanic ambient noise as a background to acoustic neutrino detection
Ambient noise measured in the deep ocean is studied in the context of a search for signals from ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray neutrinos. The spectral shape of the noise at the relevant high frequencies is found to be very stable for an extensive data set collected over several months from 49 hydrophones mounted near the bottom of the ocean at 1600 m depth. The slopes of the ambient noise spectra ...
متن کاملStatus and First Results of the Acoustic Detection Test System AMADEUS
The AMADEUS system is integrated in the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea and aims for the investigation of acoustic particle detection techniques in the deep sea. Installed at a depth of more than 2000m, the acoustic sensors of AMADEUS are using piezo-ceramic elements for the broad-band recording of acoustic signals with frequencies ranging up to 125 kHz. AMADEUS consists of ...
