UHE particle detection using the Lunar Čerenkov Technique aims to detect nanosecond pulses of Čerenkov emission which are produced during UHE cosmic ray and neutrino interactions in the Moon's regolith. These pulses will reach Earth-based telescopes dispersed, and therefore reduced in amplitude, due to their propagation through the Earth's ionosphere. To maximise the received signal to noise...

The development of a new microcontroller eight channel hydrophone array driver will be presented and results shown for single channel tests, which show excellent agreement with the earlier LabView/PC based system.
Results of the deployment of the single channel system at the Rona test will be presented and predictions for the pulses generated by the linear array, particularly regarding the...

In a deep-sea neutrino telescope it is mandatory to locate the position of the optical sensors with a precision of about 10 cm. To achieve that requirement, an innovative Acoustic Positioning System (APS) has been designed in the frame work of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. The system will also be able to provide an acoustic guide during the deployment of the telescope’s components and...

The HEllenic LYceum Cosmic Observatories Network is a collaboration between Greek and Universities and the Cypriot open University as well as national Research Centres and Educators of the western greek prefecture.
HELYCON is an original telescope-array, which detects extensive Air Showers of very energetic cosmic rays coming from galactic and extragalactic sources. It is used not only for...

The problems for registration of cosmic rays and neutrinos with the highest energies existing in Nature are considered. Perspectives to detect these particles by the radio method are discussed. Radio detectors apertures are calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation for space experiments, in which Moon and comparable-size ice satellites of planets in the Solar System are used as targets. The...

When an ultra-high energy (E>10^20 eV) neutrino hits the moon an electromagnetic pulse is generated. The instantaneous power of the pulse is so strong that they can be detected on Earth. In this presentation the observations will be described using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope on the basis of which more constraining limit have been set for the flux of neutrinos with energies...

We present ZHAireS a Monte Carlo code that allows the calculation
of the Cherenkov radio pulse emitted by electromagnetic, hadronic
and neutrino-induced showers in ice up to the EeV energies.
ZHAIRES combines the high energy hadronic interaction
capabilities of AIRES, and the dense media propagation
capabilities of TIERRAS, with the precise low energy tracking
and specific algorithms...

We present the research activities for the feasibility of a large-scale acoustic detector for the detection of GZK neutrinos. Once this flux characterized, insights into cosmological source evolution, source spectra and composition at injection from the partial recovery of the degraded information carried by the ultra high energy cosmic rays can be gained.
In this presentation the...

The AMADEUS system is designed to investigate the method of acoustic particle detection for neutrinos and the acoustic background in the deep sea. Located in the Mediterranean Sea, it consists of six clusters of six acoustic sensors each.
The background of transient acoustic signals in the deep sea is very diverse stemming from anthropogenic and biological sources as well as weather...

The measurement of radio emission from air showers has proven to be an invaluable source of physical information for cosmic ray physics. Apart from providing more insight into the shower mechanisms, it can be used at the Pierre Auger Observatory to increase the the accuracy of the detection of cosmic rays of 10^18 eV and above. For this purpose the Pierre Auger Collaboration is deploying the...
