The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G)
ORAL
Abstract
The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) is designed to make the first observations of ultra-high energy neutrinos at energies above 30 PeV via the detection of Askaryan radiation and serve as a technology development site for future experiments. RNO-G will play a unique role in multi-messenger astrophysics as the world's largest in-ice Askaryan radio detection array and the first in the Northern Hemisphere. The experiment will be composed of 35 autonomous stations deployed over a 5 x 6 km grid near to NSF's Summit Station in Greenland. Each station consists of an electronics chain optimized for low power, deep and surface antennas, a digital phased array trigger, a solar power system allowing for a live time of \textasciitilde 70{\%}, and communication systems. I present an overview of the science goals, current status of construction and plans for the first season of deployment in Summer 2021.
