Abstract
A muon from an ultra-high energy neutrino interaction produces an electromagnetic shower of considerable length. Coherent Cerenkov emission at microwave frequencies from the electric charge imbalance developing in such a shower serves as an efficient signal of the event. We discuss detecting upward going UHE neutrinos ( E ν ⪆ 10 15eV ) in the antarctic ice by detecting this microwave signal with comparatively cheap and simple antennas located on the ice surface. We conclude that a pilot experiment to measure UHE neutrinos from point sources such as Cygnus X - 3 is feasible.
