Description

The Radar Echo Telescope for Cosmic Rays (RET-CR) was deployed this year at the high-altitude Summit Station in Greenland. Its primary goal is to detect in-ice continuations of high-energy cosmic-ray-induced air showers using the radar echo method. Successfully detecting in-ice cosmic-ray signals through this technique would provide significant insights and serve as a foundation for the establishment of the Radar Echo Telescope for Neutrinos (RET-N).
This talk will focus on the radar echo technique, analysis of RET-CR surface station data for reconstruction of key parameters, including primary energy, arrival direction, and core positions. It would also involve studying the combined askaryan and radar signals.
