  1. 1. Birefringence: Effects and Implications on In-Ice Radio Detection of High-Energy Neutrinos

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Nils Heyer; [2022]
    Keywords : Birefringence; Cosmic Neutrinos; In-ice radio propagation;

    Abstract : The detection of high-energy neutrinos in the EeV range requires new detection techniques to cope with the small expected flux. The radio detection method, utilizing Askaryan emission, can be used to detect these neutrinos in polar ice. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ghosts of Our Past: Neutrino Direction Reconstruction Using Deep Neural Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2021]
    Keywords : neutrino; neural network; ICECUBE; AI; convolutional neural network; CNN; askaryan emission; charged current; neutral current; CC; NC; Keras; TensoFlow; neutrino; neuralt nätverk; ICECUBE; AI; askaryan emission; Keras; TensorFlow;

    Abstract : Neutrinos are the perfect cosmic messengers when it comes to investigating the most violent and mysterious astronomical and cosmological events in the Universe. The interaction probability of neutrinos is small, and the flux of high-energy neutrinos decreases quickly with increasing energy. READ MORE

  4. 3. Measurement of the snow accumulation in Antarctica with a neutrino radio detector and extension to the measurement of the index-of-refraction profile

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Jakob Beise; [2021]
    Keywords : Askaryan; UHE neutrinos; in-ice radio detection; in-situ detector calibration; deep learning; radio neutrino detector; ARIANNA;

    Abstract : High-energy neutrino physics offers a unique way to investigate the most violent phenomena in our universe. The detection of energies above E > 1017 eV is most efficient using the Askaryan effect, where a neutrino-induced particle shower produces coherent radio emission that is detectable with radio antennas.

  5. 4. In-situ calibration device of firn properties for Askaryan neutrino detectors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Jakob Beise; [2021]
    Keywords : Askaryan; UHE neutrinos; in-ice radio detection; in-situ detector calibration; deep learning; radio neutrino detector; ARIANNA;

    Abstract : Simulations have demonstrated that high-energy neutrinos (E > 1017 eV) are detected cost-efficiently via the Askaryan effect in ice, where a particle cascade induced by the neutrino interaction produces coherent radio emission that can be picked up by antennas installed below the surface. A good knowledge of the near surface ice (aka firn) properties is required to reconstruct the neutrino properties. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vavilov-Cerenkov Radiation Near Dielectric Boundaries with Application to Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detection

    University essay from Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Anders Persson; [2007]
    Keywords : Neutrino detection; Cerenkov radiation; Askaryan effect;

    Abstract : In this diploma thesis, we present a thorough investigation of the Vavilov-Cerenkov (VC) effect and its application to the detection of ultrahigh energyneutrinos. Neutrinos have no net charge and cannot emit VC radiation(VCR) but when they interact with a stationary medium such radiation isproduced by the Askar'yan effect. READ MORE
