Searching for High Energy Neutrinos with the Askaryan Radio Array
ORAL
Abstract
The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is an experiment deployed at the South Pole to search for ultra-high energy ($>10$ PeV) neutrinos. ARA searches for neutrinos by burying clusters of antennas deep (200m) in the glacial ice, and looking for the radio emission produced by neutrino-nucleon interactions. In this talk, I will summarize the status of the experiment. I will discuss the latest results in the ARA search for neutrinos, which produced the best limit from an in-ice radio array above 100 PeV. I will also highlight ongoing work in analysis and reconstruction, and their implications for the design of next generation experiments.
