Dr Clancy James (University of Erlangen-Nuernberg)11/06/2014, 16:35Weds PM II - LunarThe effects of lunar surface roughness, on both small and large scales, on Askaryan radio pulses generated by particle cascades beneath the lunar surface has never been fully estimated. Surface roughness affects the chances of a pulse escaping the lunar surface, its coherency, and the characteristic detection geometry. It will affect the expected signal shape, the relative utility of different...Go to contribution page

Dr Timothy Miller (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab)11/06/2014, 16:55Weds PM II - LunarWe describe a potential confluence between EeV neutrino detection and planetary science: a concept for an instrument to measure the thickness of the ice shell on a planetary body, such as Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus, by making use of the Askaryan Effect RF signal from EHE neutrinos observed from an orbiting spacecraft. Unlike a large high powered active device, i.e., an...Go to contribution page

Krijn de Vries (VUB)11/06/2014, 17:15Weds PM II - LunarWe discuss the radar detection technique for the detection of high-energy neutrino-induced particle cascades in ice. A high-energy neutrino interacting in ice will induce a particle cascade. When propagating through the ice, this cascade will ionize the medium producing a plasma. The different properties of this ionization plasma, such as its size and lifetime, will be discussed to determine...Go to contribution page

Mr Samridha Kunwar (The University of Kansas)11/06/2014, 17:35Weds PM II - LunarThe detection of high – energy cosmic rays is currently limited by the rarity of the most interesting rays striking Earth. We describe the development of an observatory based on a remote sensing technique known as bi-static radar, that aims to achieve remote coverage over large portions of the Earth's surface. The radar project's receiver and transmitter stations have already been functional...Go to contribution page
