Description

How to optimize in-air radio detection to detect UHE neutrinos? 
Brainstorming towards building the next generation UHE neutrino radio-detectors, based on input from GRAND, BEACON and other prototypes. 

Topics:

  • Science targets
  • Maximizing aperture while minimizing instrumentation and energy threshold
  • Advantages of phased vs unphased arrays
  • Designing radio detectors efficient towards the horizon
  • Maximizing science case: balancing neutrino science, cosmic ray science, and other topics
  • Lowering energy threshold
  • DAQ for very large scale detectors; Sustainability; Optimizing power and comms distribution
  • Frequency range (science, commercial availability, signal discrimination) 


All input and clever ideas welcome!

Note: The general sessions and open discussions will be in hybrid mode. For fluidity and efficiency, the specific brainstorming sessions will be held in person only.
