ANITA, astro-ph

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.

  1. Great idea! How will you keep the penguins away, though?

  2. Easy: surround the antenna with moat filled with hungry theoretical astrophysicists.
