Description
The ARIANNA experiment uses low noise, low power and inexpensive
technology to search for radio pulses emitted by extremely high energy
cosmic neutrino interactions. Three detector stations have been
deployed in the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica, taking both
environmental as well as radio pulse data. The stations are powered by
solar and wind generators and transfer data north via wireless
Internet and satellite modem peripherals. The performance of the
stations in 2014 will be discussed and the effectiveness of the Ross
Ice Shelf as a radio quiet environment will be examined. Preliminary
searches for neutrino signals in the data will be presented.
