N.B. The Radio Waves being detected are secondary, producedby collisions of cosmic rayswith matter. -i.e., NOT a radio dish detecting direct radiowaves from astronomical sources

1) We are entering the era of 'multi-messenger' astronomyComprehensive picture of astronomical sources by combining multiple EM wavelengths + particles, viz. Neutrinos and protons2) In addition to direct detection of radio sources in the sky, RF detection also includes radio emissions from both neutrino- and charged-CR-induced `showers' (=`indirect' probe)
Plans are underway to outfit proposed Auger North experiment with radio detectors for charged-CR measurements

Some History
Pierre Auger (1899-1993) realizes that cosmic rays are `extensive'
`hits' distributed over large area are coincident in time

Radio Detection of cosmic rays, 2009
Two techniques:
● 1) Measurement of geosynchrotron RF emissions as extensive air showers develop
● Detection of primary charged CR's; E>1 PeV● Antennas in-air viewing shower core at, e.g., 600
g/cm2 depth in atmosphere● 2) Measurement of coherent RF radiation from
EM&hadronic showers in dense media ● Detection of neutrinos and/or charged CR's producing
showers that penetrate into the medium itself● In both cases, the physical scale of the charge separation
sets the scale of the sensitive RF detector● Geosynchrotron: Tens of meters=>~50 MHz● Showers: 10 cm Moliere Radius=>1001000 MHz

Radio Emission from Air Showers: A Very Brief History
Initial motivation through prediction of Cherenkov-like radio emission process (Askaryan 1962).Radio pulse discovery at Jodrell Bank at 44 MHz (Jelley et al. 1965). Various experiments around the world but problems with data acquisition (oscilloscopes!) and interference.Death and resurrection of radio detection:ICRC 1975, Watson radio obituary: ‘… it is clear that experimental work on radio signals has been terminated elsewhere'.ICRC 1977, Harold: 'The logical decision is to abandon radio emission as a tool in air shower investigations…”ICRC 2007, plenary lecture on “Radio Detection of UHECRs” and many other contributions~2001 Peter Biermann points out potential relevance for LOFAR radio telescope

2) RF neutrino detection in-media Flux standard=`GZK' (charged CR photoproduction on CMB produces pions...)
What detection volume is needed?Flux of GZK neutrinos < 1 neutrino / km2 / year / steradian
Neutrino interaction length is ~500 km in water (Eν ≈ 1019 eV), so an incident neutrino at Eν ≈ 1019 eV has ~0.002 chance of interacting in 1 km of water.
- Detector can see at most half the sky – Earth blocks upcoming neutrino. Therefore, rates in detector are ~0.02 neutrinos / km3 / year
Need to thoroughly monitor at least 50 km3 to see only 1 event in a year!
A detector > 1000 km3-sr is required
To obtain a detection volume this large, one must use:emission with large S/N
natural materials in situ with long attenuation length, uniform, and

Beyond 10 km3?Two Good Ideas by Askaryan
#1. UHE event will induce an e/γ shower:
In electron-gamma shower in matter (ice, e.g.), there will be 20% more electrons than positrons.
Compton scattering: γ + e-(at rest) → γ + e-
Positron annihilation: e+ + e-(at rest) → γ + γ

•Radiowaves offer a technique for EHE neutrino detection, BUT need a big, dense target, and neutrino “crashes” are rare. Radio also can be used to detect other CR particles hitting Earth•RICE data-taking continues, with added radiowave air shower detection added.
•ARA testbed•ANITA second flight completed; third planned
•For the possible grad students out there, if you’ve ever wanted to experience: * <8 hr/day Facebook access (but getting better!!!) * long, lonely days/nights cut off from civilization * a barren, desolate and foreboding landscape This could be your opportunity!
*(not really)
