Steven Barwick (Irvine) gave a nice talk about ANITA, a project to measure radio Cherenkov light from the energetic neutrinos related to ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It occurred to me that it might be possible to make a long-wavelength telescope in Antarctica that measures, simultaneously, radio emission from the sky and radio emission from neutrinos in the ice.
I posted my Marseille review to astro-ph, and Quintero's paper appeared too.
Great idea! How will you keep the penguins away, though?
ReplyDeleteEasy: surround the antenna with moat filled with hungry theoretical astrophysicists.
