Description

The detection of ultra-high energy neutrinos with energies in the PeV - EeV range remains a big challenge. Especially after the latest IceCube results, the neutrinos fluxes in the highest energy regions appear to be rather low and even new detection methods utilizing the Askaryan effect in ice show somehow limited capabilities in that region. This talk will discuss the possibilities and advantages of utilizing RADAR to find cascades induced by ultra-high energy neutrinos in ice.
