Abstract
As of this writing, there are three dedicated experiments, all based in Antarctica, which seek first-ever measurement of the ultra-high energy neutrino flux at Earth. All three (ANITA, ARA and ARIANNA) exploit the Askaryan Effect to detect the so-called cosmogenic neutrinos which should result from interactions of ultra-high energy baryons with the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Photoproduction of those neutrinos, via Nγ → Δ → Nπ±, with subsequent weak decays of those pions resulting in neutrinos. In-ice weak and neutral scattering of those neutrinos off ice molecules can yield in a detectable pulse of coherent, radio-frequency radiation. We summarize the three experiments, and discuss prospects.
