Expected properties of radio pulses from lunar EeV neutrino showers
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results of the simulation of the intensity distribution of radio pulses from the Moon due to interaction of EeV neutrinos with lunar regolith. The radiation mechanism is of coherent Ĉerenkov radiation of the negative charge excess in the shower, known as Askar’yan effect. Several realistic observational setups with ground radio telescopes are considered. Effective detector volume is calculated using maximum-knowledge Monte Carlo code, and the possibilities to set limits on the diffuse neutrino flux are discussed.

متن کاملCherenkov Radio Pulses from Eev Neutrino Interactions: the Lpm Effect
We study the implications of the LPM effect for the Cherenkov radiation of EeV electromagnetic showers in the coherent radiowave regime for ice. We show that for showers above 100 PeV the electric field scales with shower energy but has a markedly narrower angular distribution than for lower energy showers. We give an electric field frequency and angular spectrum parameter-ization valid for sho...
متن کاملThe Lpm Effect for Eev Hadronic Showers in Ice: Implications for Radio Detection of Neutrinos
We study the longitudinal development of hadronic showers in ice for energies up to 100 EeV and its implications for radio and optical Cherenkov emission. A small fraction of showers induced by primaries of energy above 1 EeV is shown to display the characteristic elongation associated to the Landau Pomeranchuck Migdal (LPM) effect. The rest look like ordinary showers because the highest energy...

We show that at wavelengths comparable to the length of the shower produced by an Ultra-High Energy cosmic ray or neutrino, radio signals are an extremely efficient way to detect these particles. Through an example it is shown that this new approach offers, for the first time, the realistic possibility of measuring UHE neutrino fluxes below the Waxman-Bahcall limit. It is shown that in only one...
متن کاملProspects for radio detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and neutrinos
The origin and nature of the highest energy cosmic ray events is currently the subject of intense investigation by giant air shower arrays and fluorescent detectors. These particles reach energies well beyond what can be achieved in ground-based particle accelerators and hence they are fundamental probes for particle physics as well as astrophysics. One of the main topics today focuses on the h...
