Exploring the Ultrahigh-Energy Universe with ANITA
Event Start:
2020-08-13T16:00:00
Event End:
2020-08-13T17:00:00
Event Information:
The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment is a balloon-borne radio telescope that, unlike most telescopes, points down in order to try to capture the impulsive Askaryan radio emission from energetic (>1 EeV) neutrinos interacting in the Antarctic ice sheet. Neutrinos at these energies have not yet been detected, but can be produced in interactions of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background or directly in astrophysical sources.
